Mobile operator O2<\/a> (VMO2) has today announced that they’ve chosen cloud-provider VMware<\/a> to help modernise their network and enable the continued progress of its 5G<\/a> (mobile broadband) rollout across the United Kingdom. This builds on an existing collaboration, which has underpinned the deployment for the past 16 months.<\/p>\n

The deal will see VMO2 adopt VMware’s Telco Cloud Infrastructure<\/a> to help design, build, test and implement virtualised network functions. The goal is to deliver new services, boost mobile broadband speeds, further improve network reliability and to also simplify its network.<\/p>\n

The operator said they would also adopt the company’s Tanzu for Telco’s Kubernetes<\/a> cluster capabilities to build Containers as a Service<\/strong> (CaaS) proficiency (i.e. container-based virtualization), which they said would expand the network’s cloud-based ability to support multi-vendor solutions.<\/p>\n

Sanjay Uppal, Senior VP and GM of Service Provider & Edge at VMware, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“As the rollout of 5G<\/a> networks comes close to completion, service providers need to be able to modernise their network infrastructure quickly, simply, and economically. The best way to do this is through a single platform that can automate and streamline delivery of multi-vendor network functions.<\/p>\n

Through its work with VMware, Virgin Media<\/a> O2<\/a> is able to deploy a network infrastructure that enables the successful roll out of its 5G services without limitations, by harnessing the agility, flexibility, and consistency of a common platform.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chris Buggie, Director of VMO2’s Infrastructure & Cloud Engineering & Delivery, added that virtualising and modernising their network is seen as “essential if we are to cement our position as the leading telco provider across UK and EU<\/em>,” although a number of other operators might well claim to be the “leading telco<\/em>” in the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
