A balanced diet of public and private cloud
Communications service providers (CSPs) are moving their IT workloads to the cloud in the ongoing drive to decrease operational costs, expedite deployment and vastly increase flexibility. They are still in the early stages of migration, but now that the benefits of cloud native operations are becoming more tangible, many operators are focusing on a more wide-reaching strategy for telco cloud. How they execute these strategies will heavily impact their competitive abilities for at least the next decade. Our report looks at the emerging best practices and key considerations of CSPs at the cutting edge, and what this technological paradigm shift means for telco transformation. The way different CSPs deploy their cloud strategies is a unique affair based on the specific operational and business requirements of the operator or line of business. In the past, this type of statement may have struck fear into the hearts of CTOs as it could translate to “heavy customization is required” to get them where they need to be. However, one of the fundamental principles of cloud native technology is that it should be possible to build a bespoke, mission-focused IT ecosystem using existing modular assets and run microservice applications over it without constraint. This means that unique operational configurations can be constructed without custom proprietary code and the associated time and expense. Based on our research, the five most frequent drivers of cloud adoption include Business agility and time to market, innovation, cost, customers differing needs and finally competitive advantage. Read this report to understand:
- The benefits of hybrid or multi-cloud over just public or private cloud
- How the management and orchestration of the cloud ecosystem is key to future business success
- How CSPs are using the migration to cloud to solve age-old telecoms issues issues like interoperability
- Why CSPs are fostering partnerships to access new vertical markets
- Techniques CSPs are employing to migrate IT workloads to the cloud
