Why Telcos Need a Cloud Strategy: 4 must have considerations
5G standalone (SA) deployments is driving telecommunications towards a major shift to cloud-native networking slated to be implemented across the entire network from core to the edge infrastructure. This transition to containerized workloads from existing virtual network functions (VNF) has deeper implications in the way operators design, deploy, and manage applications. As they do so, telcos are faced with several strategic choices to cost-effectively deliver cloud infrastructure and related network functions across large scale, distributed, multi-vendor, and multi-cloud deployments. Having a defined strategic roadmap can help telcos stay focused on their journey to cloud native while business models and their partnerships with hyperscalers continue to evolve.
In this webinar you will learn:
How are telcos embracing cloud native practices?
Why do telcos need a sustainable strategy for cloud?
Can telcos leverage the existing ecosystem
Microsoft said it will 'shift focus' from selling network functions to instead sell platform and AI capabilities in the telecom industry. The move coincides with Microsoft's sale of Metaswitch to Alianza.
