The new edge-as-a-service offering stems from NTT and VMware collaborating with Intel to innovate on edge-focused solutions and services.
NTT uses VMware’s Edge Compute Stack to power the new edge-as-a-service offering, with VMware 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.
The integrated solution is available globally and aims to accelerate business process automation. It delivers near-zero latency for enterprise applications at the network edge, optimising costs and boosting end-user experiences in a secure environment.
Shahid Ahmed, group EVP, NTT, explained, “Combining edge and private 5G is a game changer for our customers and the entire industry, and we are making it available today. The combination of NTT and VMware’s Edge Compute Stack and private 5G delivers a unique solution.
“[The solution] will drive powerful outcomes for enterprises eager to optimise 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.”
