ZTE, a leading provider of telecommunications equipment, network solutions and smartphones, today announced that its TECS (Tulip Elastic Cloud System) solution has been awarded the “Full Score Leader” rating for the third year in a row in the latest NFVI. / Telco Cloud 2023 Report from GlobalData, a renowned global ICT industry consulting and data analytics company.
The report assesses the top six global cloud platform providers on six dimensions: architecture, carrier grade features, management, speed to market, performance and professional services. Once again, ZTE has achieved the highest score in all six parameters, a feat that demonstrates the company’s capabilities.
According to GlobalData, ZTE’s TECS products offer notable advantages in terms of advanced architecture. The dual-engine platform facilitates unified deployment and management of containers, virtual machines, and bare metal resources. The architecture supports on-demand switching between virtual machines and containers, responds flexibly to containerized service models, evolves to cloud-native, and reduces time-to-market by leveraging existing resource pools Scales on-demand capacity and growth.
NEO, a new computer architecture.
ZTE’s NEO Smart Cloud Card builds a new computing architecture centered on the Data Processing Unit (DPU). This innovative approach enables offloading and accelerating computing, networking, storage and security functions, effectively reducing CPU workload. As a result, the overall performance of the system is improved, which finds wide applicability in CT (Communications Technology) and IT (Information Technology) cloud scenarios.
In the cloud realm, NEO is used to offload computing power and manage containers, thus meeting the requirements of cloud-native applications with flow tables and high forwarding demands. In edge scenarios, ZTE’s MEC (Multi-Access Edge Computing) solution, based on the NEO Cloud Card, provides plug-and-play functionality, high integration, and advanced security. The solution facilitates the deployment of various resources across the operator’s network. It also covers the various needs of the companies, and enhances the industrial applications vertical.
In private and public cloud scenarios, NEO cards are used for bare metal cloud management. This implementation allows these resources to have the performance characteristics of physical machines while maintaining the versatility normally associated with virtual machines. This allows companies to quickly migrate to the cloud and take advantage of physical and virtual infrastructure.
GlobalData notes that ZTE’s Cloud Infrastructure Intelligent Analysis System (CIIA) is at the industry-leading level. CIIA provides users with a comprehensive cloud resource pool O&M solution, including capabilities such as risk identification, fault diagnosis, quality optimization, resource management, and response interfaces. In addition, it incorporates artificial intelligence in multiple scenarios, which facilitates the advancement of operational and maintenance capabilities towards Level 4 of autonomy in the network.
ZTE has already deployed 500 TECS product projects around the world.
To date, ZTE’s TECS products have been successfully deployed in over 500 projects around the world. The company has established partnerships with the world’s leading carriers and government agencies, successfully positioning itself in high-end carrier markets. In addition, ZTE takes on important responsibilities within open source organizations and communities such as ETSI, OpenStack, CNCF and OpenDaylight. With these partnerships, an open and mutually beneficial industry ecosystem has been created, while maintaining the company’s commitment to building an intelligent cloud platform with exceptional performance, simplified operation and maintenance, and unparalleled security.
