Accelerate Transformation Communications service providers (CSPs) are amid rapid transformation. This change is driven by an increasing demand for low-latency, high-bandwidth services from both enterprises and consumers, and enabled by a new generation of advanced technologies. 5G and edge computing have unique network requirements, including the rapid scaling of resources and modular, agile infrastructure. Also, edge deployments have their own set of considerations, such as limited real estate and highly distributed sites with little or no on-site technical support.

To keep pace with this network transformation, CSPs are turning to two key enablers: automation and DevOps mode of operations. While network virtualization and cloud-native architectures have become increasingly important to CSPs, particularly in mobile networks, physical servers remain the bedrock of modern telecommunications networks. Servers have a key role to play in the core, the radio access network (RAN) and OSS/BSS infrastructure. To streamline and optimize the management of hardware resources in the network, Dell Technologies offers the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC): a powerful tool for remote deployments, monitoring, updating, troubleshooting and re-mediating Dell EMC PowerEdge servers. iDRAC is the first touch point in Dell PowerEdge server provisioning and plays a critical role in the creation of an automated, self-healing telecommunications network. This paper provides an explanation on iDRAC and how CSPs can leverage its capabilities to build out 5G and edge networks to deploy new services to customers.
