India’s Tech Mahindra has announced a strategic collaboration with Microsoft to enable a cloud-based 5G core network upgrade for telecom operators worldwide.
In its report, Microsoft India noted that the 5G core network transformation will help telecom operators develop core 5G use cases and meet the growing technology demands of their customers in areas such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), IoT and edge computing. .
As part of the collaboration, Tech Mahindra will provide its expertise, end-to-end solutions and managed service offerings such as ‘Network Cloudification as a Service’ and AIOps to telecom operators for their 5G core networks.
AIOps will help operators combine big data and machine learning to automate network operations processes, including event correlation and anomaly detection, error prediction and performance issues, enabling self-service network operations.
CP Gurnani, Managing Director and CEO, Tech Mahindra said, “Today, it is critical to leverage next-generation technologies to build relevant and resilient services and solutions for customers around the world. At Tech Mahindra, we are well positioned to help telecom operators realize the full potential of their networks and deliver innovative and agile services to their customers while helping them meet their ESG commitments. Our collaboration with Microsoft will further strengthen our portfolio of services by combining our deep expertise across the telecommunications industry with the Microsoft Cloud. Building on this collaboration, Tech Mahindra and Microsoft will work together to help telecom operators simplify and transform their operations to build green and secure networks by leveraging the power of cloud technologies.
Meanwhile, Anant Maheshwari, President, Microsoft India, said the collaboration between Tech Mahindra and Microsoft will help customers build green and secure networks with seamless operations across Microsoft’s cloud and carrier network.
Under the terms of the agreement, Tech Mahindra will use Microsoft’s cloud for its sustainability solution, iSustain, to measure and monitor KPIs across all three aspects of ESG. The company emphasized that iSustain will help operators address the challenge of measuring and reducing carbon emissions from networks while meeting the demands of energy-intensive digital technologies such as AR, VR and IoT. In addition, Tech Mahindra said it will further strengthen the security posture of the operator’s network and operations powered by SenTindra, a cloud-based virtual security operations center built on Microsoft Sentinel. The SenTindra platform offers more than 300 scenarios and workflows to support telecom operators’ cloud visibility, monitoring and orchestration requirements.
