5G ’ s bright future The COVID-19 pandemic has made many organisations rethink their strategy – building for increased resilience and sustainability .
Nagaraju Cheemalamarri , General Manager and Business Leader , 5G and Emerging networks , has been at Wipro since 1994 , and believes the pandemic has transformed how organisations operate – opening a huge opportunity for 5G and edge computing .
“ Edge computing is a crucial element in terms of developing the next generation of digital services ,” says Cheemalamarri , “ and it ' s also not new – it has been prevalent in various forms already .
“ 5G actually opened up a new range of opportunities and possibilities from the edge perspective . Enterprise 5G and also the edge compute and MEC market will be a growth engine for us in the next two to three years , and the main drivers here will be the simplification and also automation of all these deployments . We are also making very aggressive investments into cloud .”
We created ready to service pre-integrated reference stacks like BoundaryLess Universal Edge ( BLUE ) and 5G Edge Services Solution Suite so that customer needs are addressed providing time to market advantage .
Our BLUE framework offering has ready to service , pre-integrated IBM stack components such as IBM Edge Application Manager , IBM Cloud Pak for Network Automation , Data platform and Watson AIOps which is included in our offerings . We leverage Intel on the software front using OpenNESS which is their open network , edge services software platform . And on the hardware front , we use varied Intel hardware , such as integrated GPUs , core and Intel Atom . We are integrating our Edge lifecycle management platform with Intel Smart Edge software stack , which can provide integrated and intelligent connectivity edge offerings .
Intel ’ s Eric Levander says when it comes to future-proofing , companies have to ensure their investment is sustainable and they don ’ t “ build themselves into a corner ”.
“ Going forward , open solutions with broad ecosystem support is the high-level answer
