With 5G serving as the catalyst for how the communications industry and the cloud industry are coming together, VMware announced its new 5G Telco Cloud Platform last month.
The new platform combined VMware Telco Cloud Infrastructure, which was an evolution of the vCloud NFV solution, and VMware Telco Cloud Automation. VMware’s Telco Automation Cloud is a “cloud down” approach to model, on-board, orchestrate and manage virtual network functions (VNFs), cloud-network functions (CNFs) and network services.
