5G is changing customer behavior and shedding light on edge opportunities.
As we transition through mobile network generations there has always been a circular relationship between the forces of technology and the forces of society – advances in one drives advances in the other, and so on. With the evolution of 5G, there is no question that we’re starting to see the influence of customer behavior driving change in our network architectures.
These changing customer expectations for how we work, how we live, and how we interact, are not only forcing network transformations but also creating opportunities for nearly every industry around the world.
Service providers are modernizing their networks and operations to help their enterprise customers take advantage of these new opportunities. Opportunities which require a new focus for service delivery – one that’s closer to where customer data, applications and devices are. And this year at VMworld, we plan to jump head-first into that world at the edge.
While we’ll certainly address the related network transformation at the near edge, we’ll also have plenty of discussions on how what’s happening at the far edge is changing what we do in the core and RAN. With this transformation, we’re moving away from hardware orientations to software-based networks that can scale, self-heal, and operate with autonomy. If you’re looking to build a secure, performant and agile, future-ready network, VMworld is the place to learn more.
Below is a sampling of demos and sessions including over 30 customers and partners planned for our service provider partners at #VMworld 2021.
