SUSE and Dell Technologies certify solution to make 5G and Edge Computing Easier for Telcos

The telecom industry is experiencing a technology-driven transformation. This evolution brings new opportunities for advanced services and expanded business, but also creates challenges in areas ensuring efficient systems and seamless operations.

To enable telcos to best manage this transformation, SUSE and Dell Technologies have certified SUSE’s Adaptive Telco Infrastructure Platform (ATIP) / SUSE Edge for Telco Platform on Dell PowerEdge XR8620 servers in Dell Technologies Open Telecom Ecosystem Lab (OTEL.) This certification leverages the strengths of SUSE and Dell, providing telcos with a validated solution that emphasizes high standards in network performance and operational reliability and helps telecommunications companies transform their 5G cloud-native networks faster and more reliably. 

Dell and SUSE’s certified solution will enable telcos to efficiently deploy, manage, and scale 5G RAN, Core and Edge. By leveraging their expertise and advanced technologies, SUSE and Dell Technologies aim to set a new standard in telecom performance and customer satisfaction. This collaboration represents a major step forward in addressing the growing demands of modern telecom infrastructure and customer expectations. 

Why this certification is a big deal

Telcos need to upgrade their networks to take advantage of edge computing and deliver new services like low-latency gaming and real-time video analytics. SUSE’s certification on Dell infrastructure makes it easier for them to do that. The benefits of this certified solution include:

• Faster time-to-market for new services: Telcos can roll out innovative services faster.
• Improved network reliability and scalability: Networks will be more stable and able to handle growth.
• Better customer experiences: End users will enjoy lower latency and better service availability.

What SUSE and Dell Technologies bring to the table

SUSE has a strong background in open-source software for telcos, while Dell Technologies is known for its infrastructure expertise. Together, we have certified a solution that’s flexible, customizable, and cost-effective. The open-source nature of SUSE’s software allows for greater flexibility, customization, and cost-effectiveness compared to proprietary solutions. Dell’s infrastructure expertise ensures that the solution is scalable and reliable, making it well-suited for demanding edge computing applications.

Key Benefits for Telcos

• Pre-validated and optimized infrastructure: Reduces the complexity of deploying edge computing.
• Lower costs: Potentially reduce costs on deploying edge computing environments as certification and the reference architectures simplify the deployment process, reducing the time and effort required to set up and configure edge computing solutions.
• Expertise and support: Provides assurance that the quality of the SUSE’s software is compatible with and ready for stable deployment on Dell Technologies telecom infrastructure.
