IBM rolls out cloud platform for telcos deploying 5G
By MYBRANDBOOK
International Business Machines Corp better known as IBM has come up with a cloud platform directed at telecom operators deploying 5G. The company has signed up Nokia and Samsung as partners.
Instead of physical equipment to do network functions, software is used in a cloud platform to help telecom operators to build 5G networks faster, reduce costs and sell customised services to business clients.
The government of the U.S. has been pushing the big companies of the country to get more involved with 5G. It is a technology which has potential to enable everything from self-driving cars to remote surgery and more automated manufacturing.
Microsoft and Amazon have their own cloud platforms which focus on telecom operators.
Collaboration, not competition, is the way forward as customers will consume from more than one cloud service provider, be it Amazon or Microsoft, Howard Boville, IBM’s senior vice president for Hybrid Cloud, told a news source.
He also added that IBM will provide services to telecom partners to run their networks and also to assist them in selling custom products to their customers
Under its new Chief Executive Arvind Krishna, 109-year-old company is splitting itself into two public companies to focus on high-margin cloud computing business.
IBM’s cloud offering for telecom is built on technology from Red Hat and has signed up 35 partners which includes network equipment suppliers and software vendors to build an ecosystem.
The pandemic has accelerated the desire for every company, not just telcos, for digital transformation and there has been a massive uptick to this approach, Boville said.
More than a dozen clients are already testing its new telco cloud.
