The TCO Benefits of Dell’s Next-Generation Telco Servers

https://www.acgcc.com/reports/the-tco-benefits-of-dells-next-generation-telco-se/

CSPs worldwide are in the process of deploying 5G networks, many of which use telco cloud architectures. In a telco cloud, virtual RAN functions and virtual packet core functions run on standard x86 servers. This paper focuses on the total cost of ownership benefits of moving from the current generation of servers based on Intel’s 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors to the next generation of telco servers using 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with Intel vRAN Boost.

ACG's Analysis of Dell's Telecom Infrastructure Block Solution Offerings for 5G Cores and RANs

Communication Service Providers (CSPs) globally are deploying next-generation services using cloud-native designs in their 5G and edge network infrastructures. They are motivated by the openness, modularity and scalability as well as the potential for simplicity and efficiency that cloud-native architectures provide. While these prospects are compelling, a hurdle for CSPs to overcome is the existence of a number of alternatives for deploying cloud infrastructure configurations and their concurrent need to deploy and run these widely distributed infrastructures in a consistent, scalable and dramatically simplified way.

Dell Technologies has developed solutions to address this problem in partnership with its cloud software ecosystem partners. Together they have developed a set of solutions called Dell Telecom Infrastructure Blocks to achieve this result. Telecom Infrastructure Blocks provide pre-engineered and prevalidated cloud-native infrastructure solutions tuned to the requirements of CSPs' 5G network deployments. Their operation is simplified and made scalable through integrations between Dell Bare Metal Orchestrator and leading cloud platform software from Red Hat and Wind River to automate the deployment and life-cycle management of the hardware and software stack used in the telco cloud.

How aligned with cloud-native simplicity, efficiency and versatility requirements are Dell's Infrastructure Blocks? How much benefit in terms of reduced cost of ownership and accelerated time to revenues do they generate? Dell worked with ACG Research to answer these questions for its 5G core and vRAN infrastructure block solutions. The direction and the results are compelling.

In this podcast, you will discover the opportunities that arise, explore the flow of subsidies and private equity funding, and become acquainted with the key players and their strengths in various market segments. This podcast will serve as a "buyer's guide" to educate the market on this topic.

Governments worldwide are making substantial investments to bridge the so-called digital divide. In the US alone, an estimated $100 billion is being allocated to broadband deployment funding. This unprecedented financial support is driving enormous demand and leading to a generational transformation of the access network.

The entities aiming to deploy broadband access range from highly experienced incumbents to utilities, inexperienced new service providers such as municipalities, and others. The ideal access network solution for each deployment depends on a variety of factors, including topologies that vary greatly from densely populated urban areas to remote, sparsely populated, rugged rural regions. Additional factors include available technologies, deployment and operational flexibility, and go-to-market strategies.

In this podcast, we delve into the forces shaping the access network, the prevalent technologies, and deployment considerations. We also discuss how ACG plans to address these market inefficiencies across numerous dimensions with its newly established Broadband Access Transformation practice.
