Telecommunications networks are increasingly adopting cloud technologies to improve flexibility, reduce costs, and support new services. This white paper examines the transition from traditional, hardware-based telecom infrastructure to cloud-based solutions, focusing on the roles of Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN).
It outlines the architecture of telco cloud environments, highlights both the benefits and challenges of migration, and discusses key considerations for planning, deployment, and testing. The document also addresses performance factors, orchestration, and strategies for validating cloud-based telecom systems.
For those interested in the technical and operational aspects of telco cloud migration and readiness, the full white paper provides further detail.
