SAN FRANCISCO – With a call out from VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger during his opening keynote and numerous mentions from Dell Technologies-family executives, 5G was most certainly a topic of interest during VMworld this week. And with 5G commanding an IT-centric approach marked by highly varied workloads orchestrated across a multi-cloud environment, VMware sees a clear path to winning more operator business.
“There’s this massive wave occurring in the telco community,” Gelsinger told a packed house at the Moscone Center. “5G is ushering maybe the biggest capital investment build out for the rest of our careers. Telcos will play a bigger role in the cloud universe.”
