Going forward, the collaboration will address streamlining configuration management, multi-domain service management and orchestration (SMO).<br \/>\nThrough this collaboration, NTT DATA and VMware will aim to expedite CSPs\u2019 ability to leverage best practices and Open RAN large scale deployment know-how, including instantiation, configuration, testing and operation of cloud-native functions (CNFs) on either new or existing network deployments.<br \/>\nNTT DATA and VMware are members of the 5G Open RAN Ecosystem eXperience (OREXTM) established by NTT DOCOMO, which includes a lab to allow other CSPs to test and verify Open RAN and vRAN applications, platforms and systems.<br \/>\n\u201cTelco workloads experience very consistent performance in VMware\u2019s Telco Cloud ecosystem. We are delighted to expand our collaboration with VMware and allow customers to harness our innovations and growth opportunities,\u201d said Marv Mouchawar, senior vice president, Global Innovation Headquarters, NTT DATA Corporation.<br \/>\n\u201cVMware and NTT are further simplifying and accelerating the transformation of service provider networks,\u201d said Zia Yusuf, senior vice president, strategic ecosystem and industry solutions, VMware. \u201cAs a GSI ecosystem partner focused on the Telco industry, NTT DATA brings a unique set of capabilities and experience to our mutual customers that enable them to adopt open, modern network approaches such as Open RAN more quickly. Through our combined solutions and services, we will help service providers expand their services portfolios, drive down the cost and complexity of their networks, and increase time to value and profitability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>Above, Zia Yusuf, senior vice president, strategic ecosystem and industry solutions, VMware \/ Image credited to VMware<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NTT DATA and VMware, Inc. announced an expanded collaboration to accelerate the path to software-defined, large-scale Open RAN deployments through combined solutions and services The companies will further collaborate to enable the global Communications Service Provider (CSPs) industry to continue to transform from traditional operations to more agile, cloud-smart approaches in the RAN.
