Google Cloud Partner Initiative for Network Edge Development Grows
Keysight Technologies announced it has joined Google Cloud's partner initiative for agile orchestration of innovative 5G services in Edge Computing. The company joined to help create a Cloud-centric 5G ecosystem, connecting software-driven infrastructure throughout the radio access network (RAN).
"As a Google Cloud partner, Keysight will support service providers transitioning to cloud and edge computing, which are needed for delivering advanced applications and use cases such as streaming media, cloud gaming, connected vehicles, private wireless networks and immersive experiences," said Scott Bryden, vice president of Keysight's operator industry solutions group. "Keysight's solutions across wireless and wireline technologies enable hyperscalers and mobile operators to create unified, heterogenous networks that support a wide range of use cases, requirements and applications."
5G deployments with open standard interfaces are accelerating virtualization RAN architectures and network slicing technology. This is unlocking innovation at the network edge, with real-time data processing closer to the point of operation.
"Low latency access to cloud capabilities and applications is increasingly important for businesses operating at the network edge," said Tanuj Raja, Global Head, Strategic Partnerships at Google Cloud. "We're delighted to partner with Keysight to help communications service providers roll out cloud native 5G quickly and cost effectively, and ultimately to enable greater connectivity for customers at the edge."
