BT will now offer Dell’s Virtual Edge Platform (VEP) as part of its Dynamic Network Services product.
Apparently, the idea is that BT wants to help enterprises improve the deployment of applications and services.
BT will offer the family of networking-specific universal Customer Premises Equipment (uCPE) as converged networking, IoT and IT application platform, which it claims will help customers automate, simplify, and accelerate the flow of data for critical on-premises workloads.
Dell’s EMC VEP enables businesses to use a common platform to host services such as SD-WAN, security functions, IoT gateways and distributed apps for faster and easier deployment.
BT said, enabling the integration of WAN, L-WAN, SD-WAN and Cloud under a single operational and security framework. Support will also be provided for extended Edge use cases through Dell’s server storage and hyperconverged infrastructure, the firm added.
Scott Cowling, network solutions director at BT said: “BT helps multinational organisations deliver great user experience by managing and integrating services globally and at scale,” commented. “With Dell EMC Virtual Edge Platform, we are providing not only choice but also ways to de-risk technology decisions and speed up and remove complexity from their global network service deployments.”
Available in two model variations – the higher-performance VEP4600 series and the compact VEP1405 series -Dell’s EMC Virtual Edge Platform family is designed to help both service providers and enterprises modernise and “future-proof” its WAN operations. As if.
