“Cloud, 5G, and AI are the three technology vectors coming together to create new opportunities.” — Raj Yavatkar, CTO, Juniper Networks

If you’re a Communications Service Provider (CSP), you know that network traffic is growing and changing. Traditionally, CSPs and large enterprises have been operating complex physical network infrastructures to serve their customers.

Such traditional infrastructures are very expensive and less agile than cloud native architectures, making it difficult for companies to scale that infrastructure exponentially to cater to the rapidly changing needs of users.

By leveraging cloud principles and network slicing, you can create a more agile, virtualized, and converged infrastructure, allowing you to consolidate multiple network functions.

Network slicing also offers the opportunity to disrupt private networking.

It enables the dynamic creation of services for new and diverse customers over the same physical infrastructure — fast, efficiently, and inexpensively.

    In the above video featuring Juniper Networks and IBM, you’ll get insights into these areas and find answers to the following questions:

    • Why are disaggregation and open source critical to network agility?
    • Why should CSPs adopt a customer-driven approach?
    • How do network slicing and orchestration benefit 5G-enabled applications?

    The advantages and disadvantages of private cloud 

    6 min read - The popularity of private cloud is growing, primarily driven by the need for greater data security. Across industries like education, retail and government, organizations are choosing private cloud settings to conduct business use cases involving workloads with sensitive information and to comply with data privacy and compliance needs. In a report from Technavio (link resides outside ibm.com), the private cloud services market size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 26.71% between 2023 and 2028, and it is forecast to increase by…

    Optimize observability with IBM Cloud Logs to help improve infrastructure and app performance

    5 min read - There is a dilemma facing infrastructure and app performance—as workloads generate an expanding amount of observability data, it puts increased pressure on collection tool abilities to process it all. The resulting data stress becomes expensive to manage and makes it harder to obtain actionable insights from the data itself, making it harder to have fast, effective, and cost-efficient performance management. A recent IDC study found that 57% of large enterprises are either collecting too much or too little observability data.…
