Market Trend: Application modernization drives efficiencies for mobile operators

Mobile operators are under pressure to prove that their services are superior to those of over-the-top (OTT) and other non-traditional challenger service providers. Many operators, especially in Western Europe, are investing in a rich communications suites (RCS) as a means of positively differentiating their services through sticky content and evolved communications abilities such enhanced instant messaging, video calling, document sharing and social media connectivity.

Application modernization will be critical for technology vendors and mobile operators as they adopt RCS. Many mobile operators have grown through mergers and acquisitions, creating hundreds of duplicate applications on various infrastructures. Rationalization and modernization of legacy applications will be important for deploying RCS efficiently and cost ...

Mobility demand and its influence on Dell’s Technology Strategy

The Expected New Normal

With the continued rapid adoption of smart phones by consumers to business users, and a growing dependence on social media, capturing and sharing images, email, navigation and other applications the net result is an unimaginable amount of data creation. Combined with the demand to access your data, or better still use data quickly, requires the telco and technology sector to build out the capability to support what has become – the expected new normal.

Mobility has become an unstoppable technology that is transforming society and changing civilization. Travel past-times such as Sudoku puzzles, card games or reading books are being replaced by smart phones, electronic readers, tablets and laptops.

Taking Telecom to the Cloud

By: Marcel Moelands
Posted In: Telco

When I read about the Telecommunications market, I notice significant changes happening in parallel.

For instance, LTE (Long Term Evolution or 4th Generation Networks) is setting a new standard in transporting voice calls. Mobile phone users are accessing rich content, which in turn creates a balancing act between OTT (Over-the-Top) traffic and players on one side and carriers looking to monetize OTT on the other.

The proliferation of smart devices has led to a new ecosystem of machine-to-machine platforms and applications, which contributes to data growth explosion.

Evolution in Telecommunications happens faster with each generation. The cool factor of fashionable features, generational performance leaps in handset equipment, increased bandwidth and ease of ‘getting connected’ all contribute to the ...

Mobile World Congress 2013: Talk to our Telco Solution Experts

For just over a year I have been participating in the growth of a great team of dedicated Telco experts being assembled in Dell OEM Solutions as we continue investing for the telecom market.

It started a few years ago when we decided to design carrier grade reliability and capabilities into the Dell PowerEdge™ 12th generation server line based on the impressive Intel Xeon E5-2600 CPUs. Last year at Mobile World Congress (MWC) we announced the launch of the first two of those servers. The interest from that announcement in the industry was instant and intense. Since then we have launched several additional Carrier Grade platforms which gives Dell customers a robust and complete ...

Data in the right place at the right time for the right cost

Data in the right place at the right time for the right cost

Storage…… in a lot of cases is synonym to unprecedented growth, CapEx and complexity in many datacenters, with the occasional unfortunate headache as a result. But, does it really have to be that way? At Dell we do not believe so, just like we don’t believe in the traditional silo approaches to architecting storage environments.

Dell is not bound by legacy proprietary technology and we do not believe storage should be complex at all. Instead we believe storage should be approached differently by thinking differently so we’ll get closer to ‘your needs’. As a result we have been spending a lot of time building a new breed of Data Management Solutions ...

Top Business Risks for Telco Operators

By: Marcel Moelands
Posted In: Telco

A while ago, my colleague Franklin Flint blogged about the top 5 challenges emerging for the carriers and service providers. Along those lines I’m taking this opportunity to share some of the business risks Telecom Operators may be facing (pulled from Ernst and Young 2012 report top 10 risks in Telecommunications) and how Dell OEM Solutions provides elements to support Operators facing these challenges.

Failure to shift the business model from minutes to bytes

More and more mobile phone users value access to data over voice, involuntarily contributing to the rise of over-the-top providers. As value shifts from minutes of usage to volumes of data, operators need to move away from their legacy ...

Impression of 4G World 2012 in Sweet Chicago

Recently, I went to the McCormick Center in Chicago to attend 4G World 2012 with several of my co-workers and thousands of others in telecommunications roles such as suppliers, inventors, innovators, carriers, and service providers. I even met with some press and analysts while I was there including this recorded Google Hangout with RCR Wireless. Though the tragic devastation of Hurricane Sandy reduced the volume of attendees, those who could get there learned, networked, discussed, and shared with each other issues, opportunities, and future visions of the wireless communications industry.

So what was Dell OEM doing at 4G World?

Dell OEM Solutions had a relaxed, fun, open format booth area which more ...

Shifting winds at the Verizon NEBS Conference 2012

We were honored to join the relatively small group of Gold Sponsors at the Verizon NEBS Conference in Las Vegas this year. Being accepted as a member of this venerated Telco standards organization was a real achievement for someone as new to this market as Dell OEM Solutions. What was even more exciting was being invited to speak to the NEBS community about Dell’s fresh air data center initiative and how we are already very far along in massively reducing the costs of building and running data centers and driving new efficiencies into a technology industry eager to drive change.
