Wipro launches 5G edge services suite, leverages IBM tech
Wipro Limited announced the launch of its 5G edge services solutions suite built with IBM TRIRIGA and IBM Edge Application Manager.
The global information technology, consulting and business process services company says its 5G edge services solutions suite is designed to significantly enhance its existing BoundaryLess Enterprise – Universal Edge portfolio. The edge-compute-enabled offering enables communications service providers and mobile tower operators to deploy their applications into dispersed edge devices.
According to the announcement, Wipro’s advanced artificial intelligence and cloud-based services address the challenges of edge computing. It provides real-time visibility and data insights that help enable holistic management of edge infrastructure for mission critical applications in manufacturing, transport, healthcare, oil & gas and retail industries among others.
This solution is designed to offer Wipro customers better data control, reduced costs, faster insights and actions, and more automated, secured operations. A key module of the solution, primarily for the telecom ecosystem, provides a complete application suite to enable a secured gig economy around 5G-related services.
Wipro is also joining the IBM Edge Ecosystem, an initiative to help partners implement open standards-based cloud native solutions that can be deployed and autonomously manage edge applications at large scale. Wipro’s solutions are expected to address a range of concerns related to deploying and managing globally distributed services on devices, private edges and telecom operator’s Multi Access Edges.
The 5G edge services solutions suite integrates various edge computing solutions from IBM. The two companies recently announced a collaboration to develop hybrid cloud offerings to help businesses migrate, manage and transform mission-critical workloads across public or private cloud and on-premises IT environments. The recently launched Wipro IBM Novus Lounge has been designed to accelerate client innovation and bring such industry-ready solutions from public and private clouds to the edge.
