Sandvine's Virtual And Cloud Deployments Exceed 200 Across Fixed, Mobile, Wi-Fi, And Satellite Customers
Summary
Network operators are working feverishly to meet the challenge of moving their existing complex multi-vendor services from proprietary hardware deployments to a more dynamic virtual and cloud infrastructure. The pressure is on to drive down total cost of ownership (TCO), increase service velocity, and maximize flexibility in their networks to stay competitive and profitable. The pending introduction of 5G is also driving mobile operators to aggressively move their core to the cloud to prepare for the architecture transition; however, wishing it were so, does not simply make it so. Migrating services to the cloud offers lower cost and higher flexibility features, but introduces many challenges with existing software solutions as it requires an entirely new deployment paradigm. There are performance, scalability, reliability, increased complexity, and especially architectural framework immaturity challenges that are faced daily by the trailblazers moving to cloud deployments today.
