Intel® Telco Cloud Academy

Evolving the network infrastructure doesn’t come without complexity and challenges. Addressing the tremendous data growth, supporting multiple clouds, securing networks and increasing automation are just a few. Intel Telco Cloud Transformation offers a broad summary of the key drivers for Network Transformation with convergence of technology advancements supporting the continued growth and changing nature of Data and the Opportunities for exciting new Services and Solutions in the Telco Cloud Network. The Telco Cloud continues to evolve to support these new opportunities with the need to manage existing and new services from the Network Edge to the Core, where new business models, services and innovation demand operational agility, resource utilization, efficiency and scalability to improve Total Cost of Ownership and improved end user experience.

The shift to cloud-native deployment models and containerized microservices empowers CoSPs to deploy composable applications anywhere in the infrastructure. Transformation technologies for Telco Networking have built upon Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Soft Defined Networking (SDN) for use in network functions virtualization implementations. The next phase of network transformation is adopting software disaggregation using a Cloud Native approach, capable of running scalable applications across Cloud deployments thus enabling loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable, and observable, combined with robust automation to support Operators to move faster and bring innovation with increased operation efficiency.
