Itential has partnered with Kaloom, an edge networking software solution, to deliver innovative networking and automation capabilities for communication service providers and enterprises shifting to 5G networks, announced Itential on Wednesday.
Together, both platforms will now offer customers the ability to integrate, automate, and deploy network slicing intelligence. Customers will become better equipped to unlock the monetization of 5G through automation, network slicing, and virtualized network fabrics connected to the cloud.
Kaloom’s Cloud Edge Fabric solution disrupts the technical, operational, and economics of how distributed cloud edge and data centers are built and managed. With an embedded 5G user plane function (UPF), Kaloom’s solution enables the virtualization of network fabric needed for telecom providers to communicate within the larger network environment.
Itential simplifies and accelerates the deployment and automation of multi-domain, multi-vendor network infrastructures. The Itential Automation Platform is a low-code, cloud-native solution that seamlessly connects to any IT system, cloud, or network technology for end-to-end automation of any network use case, making it an ideal solution for automating and orchestrating advanced capabilities like 5G Mobile Edge Compute (MEC) creation and 5G network slicing.
By integrating together, Itential and Kaloom will enable communication service providers to accelerate the creation of network fabrics, deploy 5G applications and services, and orchestrate end-to-end network automations such as 5G network slicing and multi-cloud networking.
