In collaboration with industry leaders, Dell Technologies announced the launch of Dell AI for Telecom, a program designed to simplify and accelerate AI deployments for communications service providers (CSPs).
"Capitalising on the multiple opportunities presented by AI has become the most compelling driver of network cloud transformation," said Dennis Hoffman, senior vice president and general manager of Telecom Systems Business, Dell Technologies. "Dell AI for Telecom brings together Dell's AI expertise and infrastructure, with partners across the ecosystem, to help network operators implement AI solutions in and on the network that reduce OPEX, improve performance, and create new edge revenue opportunities."
Transforming telecom networks
Dell collaborates with AI solutions provider NVIDIA to co-create and validate telecom AI solutions for CSPs, helping them enhance customer care and improve network maintenance with the Amdocs amAIz platform, automate call centre scripts and customer care operations with Iternal, conduct network troubleshooting and analysis with Kinetica SQL-GPT, and develop digital twins for networks and perform predictive network maintenance with Synthefy.
It also aims to facilitate AI deployments at the edge of the telecom network with the PowerEdge XR8000 server, a high-performance server designed specifically for AI workloads. This server has powerful NVIDIA GPUs and can handle the most demanding AI applications. It also helps CSPs design and deploy GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) offerings to provide on-demand NVIDIA GPU capacity for enterprise customers.
Critical fabric
"Telecom networks provide a critical fabric to bring AI applications to consumers and enterprises at scale. With NVIDIA's AI suite, Dell is accelerating the adoption of AI factories, AI-powered operations, and AI-RAN in Telecom, as well as helping communications service providers apply these technologies to augment their network operations and enhance customer experiences," said Ronnie Vasishta, senior vice president, Telecom at NVIDIA.
