KUALA LUMPUR, Mavenir, the cloud-native network infrastructure provider, and Whitestack, an open source-based developer of Telco Cloud solutions, announced the successful completion of a technology alignment that enables Mavenir's Cloud-Native IMS solution to be seamlessly integrated into Whitestack's Telco Cloud platform. Initiated as part of a deployment with a leading Tier 1 operator in Latin America, the collaboration harnesses the power and performance capabilities of the Intel Xeon processor and Intel Ethernet technology. Mavenir Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cloud, AI and IMS Business Strategy, Brandon Larson said as the industry moves towards cloud infrastructure, cloud solutions must be adapted to be suitable for telco workloads and in order to accomplish this, it takes companies like Mavenir that have developed a specialised skillset in both cloud and telco. 'We are very pleased to have completed the integration process in a reasonable timeframe, thanks in part to our experience w ith other Telco Clouds and Whitestack's flexibility in adjusting their data plane configuration to maximise our performance,' he said in a statement. Meanwhile, Whitestack Business Development Manager, Telco/NFV, José Miguel Guzmán said: 'One of the many key aspects of a Telco Cloud, compared to a regular private cloud, is the ability to utilise advanced techniques for accelerating network function performance.' The announcement marks the achievement of full integration with Whitestack's Telco Cloud solution, offering telco operators a wider array of flexible options for deploying Mavenir's solutions and underscores the continued expansion of the telecom ecosystem aimed at liberating operators from legacy or monolithic solutions. The two companies are capitalising on industry momentum, following significant announcements from operators adopting cloud infrastructure for critical network functions, in which this trend is generating substantial interest from traditional operators. To meet this clear demand, Mavenir and Whitestack are offering a compelling performance-to-cost ratio, making the transition to cloud solutions an easy decision. Mavenir's Cloud-Native IMS solution is based on a microservices architecture comprising Containerized Network Functions (CNFs) that adopt cloud-native principles, offering voice services that leverage the intrinsic benefits of Kubernetes to ensure high availability. This solution operates on Whitestack's Telco Cloud platform under an automated deployment model. Separately, Mavenir, Whitestack and Intel will be participating at the Open Telco Cloud Summit 2024 in Mexico City on Sept 3. Source: BERNAMA News Agency
