HCLSoftware and SolarWinds are expanding their partnership, announced in October 2022, to build an end-to-end 5G network observability platform from cloud to RAN (Radio Access Network).
This joint AI-based offering combines HCLSoftware’s Augmented Network Automation (HCL ANA) platform, HCL DRYiCE iObserve powered by SolarWinds, and other HCLSoftware telecom products with the SolarWinds observability, monitoring, and service management platform to provide a cloud to RAN5G telecommunications observability platform for mobile network operators.
The companies say that the platform is designed to save mobile network operators millions of dollars a year, significantly reducing operating expenses.
“(It) provides deep integration between HCL iObserve (powered by SolarWinds Observability) and HCL ANA, and allows telecommunications customers to meet their observability needs across multi-cloud and 4G and 5G environments—all through a common platform,” said Sudhakar Ramakrishna, president and chief executive officer of SolarWinds.
