Ericsson CEO sets the scene for industry transformation at MWC15 - Seite 2

In addition to hardware and software, Ericsson introduced its App Experience Optimization service enabling improvements of time-to-content by up to 70 percent and upload time by up to 50 percent. Ericsson's strength in IT transformation is represented by the launch of the Digital Telco Transformation - a consulting and systems integration toolbox that enables operators to become truly digital in their own operations and customer interaction. One part of this toolbox is the Expert Analytics 15.0, a software solution that predicts user satisfaction and allows operators to take automated actions that will improve Net Promoter Scores.

In the new revenues and innovation layer, the latest release of the Media Delivery Network enables operators to take a strong position in the core of the media delivery value chain.

At the media and analyst briefing, Hans Vestberg announced the new hyperscale capabilities of the Ericsson Cloud System, saying:  "Our proposition is about more than realizing a cloud solution. It is about realizing a digital industrialization strategy. The new additions to the Ericsson Cloud System, including Ericsson HDS 8000 (Hyperscale Datacenter System) Ericsson, tackle the challenges with security, governance and automation, which are areas we know are blockers for many companies," said Vestberg.

The Ericsson HDS 8000 is the first product in the world to include Intel Rack Scale Architecture.  Ericsson and Intel have been working together for a long time across a number of technology areas, and now the two companies are moving into the data center and delivering new solution building on that relationship. 

Brian Krzanich, CEO of Intel, joined Hans Vestberg on the stage. Speaking afterwards, he said: "We truly value our relationship with Ericsson, which has grown deeper and stronger over the years, and I'm delighted to be here on the occasion of the Hyperscale Datacenter System launch. It's wonderful to see our companies pooling our talents and collaborating on such an innovative and world class solution."

The second launch that was announced for the first time at the media and analyst briefing goes beyond connected devices to a world of connected systems. Vestberg explained: "The real value of the Networked Society lies in connecting complete systems, not only the devices in the system. That is when we can really start to unlock the hidden value that ICT enables."
