Dell expands edge computing ambitions in telco space
by beth.cohen＠verizon.com 18 Feb '20

I am sure we had something to do with this. Dell expands edge computing ambitions in telco space<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__alva-2Dgroup.us11.list…> Light Reading, Mike Dano, February 18, 2020 Dell Technologies today released a handful of new products specifically targeted at edge computing operations in the telecom industry. "We think the edge is an opportunity," Dell Technologies' Kevin Shatzkamer told Light Reading. Dell announced a new server (PowerEdge XE2420), a new mini data center module (Modular Data Center Micro 415), new controller software (iDRAC9) and a new ingestion and analysis offering (Streaming Data Platform) that are all designed to allow service providers to quickly and easily build edge computing operations. Dell's Shatzkamer explained that the company decided to target the telco space roughly three years ago. He said the company saw an opportunity there as operators moved their network operations from dedicated hardware to virtualized, software-powered systems that could work on off-the-shelf hardware. He said the first phase of the company's efforts involved working with telecom suppliers like Nokia and Ericsosn, but is now evolving to include direct sales of Dell hardware and software to telecom operators directly. Dell already highlights Orange and AT&T as telecom operator "partners." Shatzkamer admitted that, with its new products, Dell would compete directly with companies that also sell edge computing hardware, including Nokia, Erisson and others.

Re: [Edge-computing] Usage CHECK on "StarlingX 1.0 Distributed Cloud Solution" on packet.com
by Waines, Greg 05 Feb '20

05 Feb '20

Last call before I tear this down ... ( I’ve heard from Dave Paterson who is done with this. ) Greg. From: Greg Waines <Greg.Waines(a)windriver.com> Date: Wednesday, January 29, 2020 at 10:04 AM To: "edge-computing(a)lists.openstack.org" <edge-computing(a)lists.openstack.org> Subject: [Edge-computing] Usage CHECK on "StarlingX 1.0 Distributed Cloud Solution" on packet.com Hey, Just trying to free up some resources in the StarlingX PROJECT in packet.com . Is anyone still using or wanting to use the "StarlingX 1.0 Distributed Cloud Solution" on packet.com ? e.g. see https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ecg-test-plan ... i.e. the one highlighted in yellow Open Deployments of ECG MVP Reference Architecture: · Distributed Control Plane Scenario o StarlingX Distributed Cloud solution --> deployed STX 1.0 Distributed Cloud on packet.com § https://www.packet.com § https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/StarlingX/Packet_SIG § http://147.75.105.194 o admin / St8rlingX* o ecg-member / St8rlingX* § David Paterson deployed open-source squid web caching ( http://www.squid-cache.org ) on the Dallas Edge Cloud o · Centralized Control Plane Scenario o OpenStack's Tripleo Solution --> deployed in Dell labs § [dpaterson] thus far testing has been in our lab only, packet.com is a noop until we have access to BMC for nodes. Some useful work we did around testing latency etc are illustrated in this diagram:https://drive.google.com/open?id=1tsnz0asFhw_Jd-uXwwOl7oKzm59cDtq1. · What we did here was creat a VM to act as a network impairment node, basically all network traffic goes through this node and we have a script that introduces latenency on demad. I can look into making the internal wiki page public as it may be useful for this group.. Let me know ... it’s using up 70% of resources dedicated to StarlingX in packet.com . I’d like to free it up for other purposes if this is not being used, Greg.
