A Cost-Effective Cloud Forward Future for Telecommunications
with Hybrid Cloud
Thursday, December 3 | 10:00 a.m. CST | 60 min. Session
Today’s telecommunications companies are experiencing a paradigm shift to more virtualized network functions. To remain relevant, investments in cloud-enabled software need to be made. However, not all applications and services can or will run in a cloud environment for a number of reasons, including latency. Legacy hardware-based infrastructure is not going to be replaced anytime soon – it’s expensive and substantial effort is needed to migrate old technology from a physical to a virtual environment. One of the best approaches to enabling a cloud forward future is by using a hybrid cloud environment.
In this exclusive interactive virtual roundtable for telecommunications executives, featuring insights from Forrester, Google Cloud, and Atos, we will address the challenges of virtualized technologies and look at how these technologies can be combined with applications running on legacy hardware-based infrastructure for the most cost-effective outcome with hybrid cloud.
