Dell Technologies and Ericsson announce a strategic partnership to combine their deep industry expertise with telecom software, solutions, and support, guiding communications service providers (CSPs) through their radio access network (RAN) cloud transformation journeys. CSPs are seeking network cloud and operations transformation to achieve improved economics and agility while maintaining network reliability. According to a new MeriTalk study sponsored by Dell Technologies, nine in 10 CSPs say network transformation is critical to their organization's survival. However, 96 percent of CSPs surveyed say their network transformation vision is lagging due to factors such as limited time and budget, as well as reliability and security concerns, holding them back from delivering a modern network to customers.
