NTT and VMware develop and deliver fully
managed Edge+Private 5G offering as a service
Kuala Lumpur, 30 August 2022 – NTT Ltd.,
a leading IT infrastructure and services company, today announced the launch of Edge-as-a-Service, a managed edge
compute platform that gives enterprises the ability to deploy quickly, manage
and monitor applications closer to the edge.
NTT and VMware, in collaboration with Intel, are partnering
to innovate on edge-focused solutions and services. NTT uses VMware’s Edge
Compute Stack to power its new Edge-as-a-Service offering. Additionally, VMware
is adopting NTT’s Private 5G technologies as part of its edge solution. The companies will
jointly market the offering through coordinated co-innovation, sales, and
business development.
NTT’s
Edge-as-a-Service offering is a globally available integrated solution that accelerates
business process automation. It delivers near-zero latency for enterprise
applications at the network edge, optimizing costs and boosting end-user
experiences in a secure environment.
NTT’s
Edge-as-a-Service offering, powered by VMware’s Edge Compute Stack, includes Private
5G connectivity and will be delivered by NTT across its global footprint running
on Intel network and edge technology.
“Combining
Edge and Private 5G is a game changer for our customers and the entire industry,
and we are making it available today,” said Shahid Ahmed, Group EVP, New
Ventures and Innovation CEO, NTT. “The combination of NTT and VMware’s Edge
Compute Stack and Private 5G delivers a unique solution that will drive
powerful outcomes for enterprises eager to optimize the performance and cost
efficiencies of critical applications at the network edge. Minimum latency,
maximum processing power, and global coverage are exactly what enterprises need
to accelerate their unique digital transformation journeys.”
As
factories increase their reliance on robotics, vehicles become autonomous, and
manufacturers move to omnichannel models, there is a greater need for distributed
compute processing power and data storage with near-instantaneous response
times. VMware’s secure application development, resource management automation,
and real-time processing capabilities combined with NTT’s multi-cloud and edge
platforms, creates a fully integrated Edge+Private 5G managed service.
VMware and NTT’s innovative offering resides closer to where the data is generated
or collected, enabling enterprises to access and react to information
instantaneously.
This
solution, which leverages seamless multi-cloud and multi-tenant connectivity, combined
with NTT’s capabilities in network segmentation, and expertise with movement
from private to public 5G, provides critical benefits for multiple industries,
including manufacturing, retail, logistics, and entertainment.
“Enterprises
are increasingly distributed — from the digital architecture they rely on to
the human workforce that powers their business daily. This has spurred a sea
change across every industry, altering where data is produced, delivered, and
consumed,” said Sanjay Uppal, senior vice president and general manager,
service provider, and edge business unit, VMware. “Bringing VMware’s Edge
Compute Stack to NTT’s Edge-as-a-Service will enable our mutual customers to
build, run, manage, connect and better protect edge-native applications at the
Near and Far Edge while leveraging consistent infrastructure and operations
with the power of edge computing.”
NTT’s
Edge-as-a-Service platform was developed to help secure, optimize and simplify
organizations’ digital transformation journeys. Edge-as-a-Service is part of
NTT’s Managed Service portfolio, which includes Network-as-a-Service and
Multi-Cloud-as-a-Service, all designed for enterprises to focus on their core
business.
