Telcos Find Cloud Migrations, Security, Are A Pain In The Iaas
The Register, Monday, October 21st, 2024
Carriers consume less than half the cloud they committed to use
Telecom companies have consumed only 48 percent of the cloud they have committed to, yet seek to secure more, according to a report released late last week by Infosys.
The outsourcing giant's "Cloud Radar - Telecom Industry Report" is compiled from over 400 industry insiders, from mid-level management to execs to C-suites. It concludes that "the industry is significantly increasing cloud spending."
The fear is that without more cloud, telcos are not full optimizing their 5G networks efficiently - and consequently not meeting the high-speed and low-latency needed for IoT and edge computing applications.
