Resilient and Secure Data Protection for VMware Telco Cloud

Resilient and Secure Data Protection for VMware Telco Cloud

In the dynamic landscape of telecommunications, where 5G networks are rapidly evolving, ensuring data protection is paramount. As communications service providers (CSPs) embrace cloud-native platforms like VMware Telco Cloud Platform, they need robust solutions to safeguard their critical workloads and components. Enter Dell Technologies PowerProtect Data Manager, a comprehensive data protection solution designed specifically for VMware Telco Cloud Platform.

The Challenge: Protecting Modern Telecom Infrastructure


VMware Telco Cloud Platform empowers CSPs to deploy and manage virtual network functions (VNFs) and containerized network functions (CNFs) across distributed 5G networks. With its holistic visibility, orchestration capabilities and operational consistency, the VMware Telco Cloud Platform enables CSPs to modernize their infrastructure efficiently. However, any modernized environment requires a robust data protection strategy to prevent downtime and data loss, and to ensure rapid recovery in case of disasters.
