The recent pandemic combined forces with the growth of 5G to change the trajectory for the telco digital transformation. This year at VMworld 2020, we’ll address this accelerated need for automated, scalable and cloudified networks. With a track dedicated to the evolving needs to service providers, we will explore how VMware data center and telco cloud solutions enable this transformation from the core and edge, to RAN and clouds.
Over the two days of VMworld, you will have the opportunity to learn from leading VMware experts and hear case studies from our customers and partners. As we accelerate toward 5G, our sessions and demos at VMworld will help you understand how to apply the agility of cloud, the power of virtualization and the resiliency created with artificial intelligence to thrive in the digital ecosystem.
Be sure to mark your calendars as Pat Gelsinger takes the stage on day one of VMworld to kick off the Telco 5G track where he will join Shekar Ayyar for a tour around the world as we visit advances in 5G. Pat and Shekar will be joined on the stage by executive guests from DT, Dish, Rogers and Singtel to discuss their progress toward agile, future-ready networks.
