On the Radar: Ribbon Communications’ Solution Offers Cloud Native Real-time Communications Architecture
There’s no doubt that telecom providers are under intense pressure to reduce costs and improve their security posture. Brent Kelly, Principal Analyst at global analyst firm Omdia, recently completed a fantastic piece on the benefits of cloud native technology for real-time communications. The cloud native moniker can sometimes be misconstrued as “moving to public cloud.” In reality, the technology supports the flexibility to deploy on premises, in a private, public, or hybrid cloud. Brent does a great job explaining the economic advantages of building communications networks on a cloud native architecture in this exclusive report licensed by Ribbon.
What is the difference between cloud native and virtualized applications?
Legacy systems are costly to maintain and upgrade. The lack of regular upgrades poses security risks, as evidenced by recently reported telecom breaches. Omdia’s "On the Radar: Ribbon Communications’ solution offers cloud native real-time communications architecture" highlights the advantages of cloud native environments over legacy and virtualized applications.
- Kubernetes, the leading cloud native environment, offers superior resource efficiency, scalability, and automation capabilities.
- Telecom providers can achieve significant operational expense (OpEx) savings by optimizing resource usage and scaling with a cloud native architecture, reducing infrastructure costs.
- Cloud native brings inherent automation. That includes security updates and product upgrades enabled by DevOps, along with continuous integration and continuous delivery practices.
Infrastructure savings are particularly important in an industry where margins are thin and the pressure to innovate is relentless. Brent offers his view as to why Ribbon is well-positioned to enable this transformation, offering solutions that help carriers transition to more agile and cost-effective deployments. Ribbon’s cloud native solutions give telecom providers and enterprises the flexibility to deploy in private clouds or on public cloud platforms.
