Product Description
VMware Telco Cloud Automation + Production Support - Term License - 1 Processor - 3 Year
The VMware Telco Cloud Automation + Production Support - Term License - 1 Processor - 3 Year (Product Code: TEL-CLD-AUTO-3TLSS-C) is a software solution tailored for telecommunications providers and organizations that are deploying cloud-native network functions (CNFs) and virtual network functions (VNFs) in their environments. This solution helps manage, automate, and optimize telco cloud networks, making it easier to deploy, scale, and orchestrate networking and cloud services.
Key Features and Benefits:
1. Telco Cloud Automation:
- VMware Telco Cloud Automation is designed to help telecom companies automate and orchestrate the deployment, scaling, and management of cloud-native network functions (CNFs) and virtual network functions (VNFs) in both private and public cloud environments.
- This helps telecom providers move away from traditional manual operations and embrace a more agile, cloud-native, and automated approach to networking and service delivery.
- The solution offers end-to-end automation for the entire network lifecycle, including network function lifecycle management, service deployment, and monitoring.
2. Production Support:
- The license includes Production Support, which ensures your organization receives ongoing support from VMware for critical production environments.
- VMware’s support services include troubleshooting, patch management, bug fixes, and updates, helping ensure that your network automation platform operates at peak performance without disruptions.
3. Term License for 1 Processor:
- This license is for a 1 processor instance of Telco Cloud Automation. The license is based on the number of processors, and this specific license applies to 1 processor where the Telco Cloud Automation software will be deployed.
- The processor-based licensing model makes it scalable for telecom providers who want to expand and deploy the platform across multiple systems and processors as needed.
4. 3-Year Term:
- The license is valid for a 3-year term, meaning you will have access to the Telco Cloud Automation solution and receive all updates, patches, and support services for 3 years from the purchase date.
- This 3-year term provides long-term stability for telecom operators, allowing them to focus on the automation and orchestration of their network without worrying about annual license renewals.
5. Telco Cloud Automation Features:
- Cloud-Native Network Functions (CNFs): Helps automate the deployment, scaling, and operation of CNFs, enabling service providers to build more flexible, scalable, and efficient networks.
- VNF Management: Supports the orchestration and lifecycle management of virtual network functions (VNFs) that run on VMware's vSphere or other cloud infrastructures, allowing for more efficient network function deployments.
- Service Automation: Automates the end-to-end service lifecycle, from design to deployment to scaling, allowing telecom companies to accelerate time-to-market for new services.
- Network Slicing: Facilitates the use of network slicing for operators, enabling the efficient allocation of resources and dynamic changes to the network based on demand, improving service delivery.
- Operational Efficiency: Automates network management processes like resource provisioning, capacity scaling, service chaining, and fault detection, reducing manual intervention and improving overall operational efficiency.
Benefits of VMware Telco Cloud Automation:
-
Accelerated Service Delivery:
- Telco Cloud Automation enables telecom providers to deploy and scale new services much faster by automating much of the network configuration, deployment, and orchestration.
- This allows providers to bring new services to market quickly, increasing their competitive advantage.
-
Improved Network Efficiency:
- By automating and optimizing network function deployment, scaling, and monitoring, Telco Cloud Automation ensures that resources are used efficiently, reducing waste and optimizing costs.
- It enables dynamic scaling of network resources to meet changing demands, ensuring that service quality remains consistent.
-
Lower Operational Costs:
- Automation reduces the need for manual intervention, which reduces human errors, operational overhead, and labor costs. Network operators can focus on higher-value tasks, such as service innovation and performance optimization.
- The solution helps reduce the overall cost of running a network by optimizing resource usage, improving network uptime, and lowering the cost of maintenance.
-
Agility and Flexibility:
- VMware Telco Cloud Automation supports cloud-native technologies, allowing telecom providers to adapt to changing market conditions quickly. Service providers can easily modify network configurations or roll out new services based on demand.
- The solution supports hybrid and multi-cloud environments, providing the flexibility to run workloads on private, public, or hybrid cloud infrastructures.
-
End-to-End Network Automation:
- From resource provisioning to service deployment and scaling, Telco Cloud Automation provides end-to-end automation for the entire network lifecycle.
- It improves operational agility, reduces time-to-market for new services, and enhances service availability by automating routine tasks.
-
Integrated Network Monitoring and Analytics:
- The solution integrates with VMware’s monitoring tools to provide deep visibility into the performance and health of both virtual and cloud networks.
- Operators can easily identify and resolve issues before they impact customers, maintaining high-quality service delivery.
-
Supports 5G and Edge Computing:
- The solution supports the deployment and management of 5G and edge network services, enabling telecom providers to deliver high-performance, low-latency services to end-users and businesses.
