Are You a Communications Service Provider? You Must Learn More About Edge Networks

We live in a world where new users, applications, and large amounts of content are generated. This demands edge networking connectivity like never before. As a result, companies must invest in infrastructure to stay competitive and updated in the market.

According to the Global Hybrid Workplace Survey 2021 conducted by Aternity, 83% of business and IT decision-makers estimate that at least 25% of their employees will continue to work in hybrid mode after the pandemic. This helps us predict that those companies will call for edge networking solutions. It will also allow them to work remotely, rapidly, and securely.

Let’s take a closer look at metro networks and next-generation edge investments.

Next-Generation Edge Networks

Today, applications and data are stored in one or more data processing locations. These locations can be private data centers or public clouds. In general, data centers are located far from the user. That gives rise to inefficiencies from a bandwidth and requirements perspective. Here is where next-generation edge networks become relevant because they help eliminate inefficiencies.

The main problem with metro networks and edge networks is that they were built with excess capacity. It was thought that highly equipped networks would consume the largest bandwidth demand. The problem with this is that it has become very inefficient, costly, and risky. Why? Because communications service providers lack visibility into how they are using their assets in real-time and cannot optimize their resources.

Based on these metro and edge networks’ problems, an adaptive network is being created today. This network is based on programmable infrastructure. It is thus guided by data-driven analytics and intelligent automation, adopting key openness, security, and scalability principles. A more simplified approach to next-generation metro and edge architecture can be delivered through the adaptive network. This all starts with IP/optical convergence: IP Adaptativa™. It also provides advanced network performance and routing visibility that enables convergence: IP Adaptativa™. It also offers advanced network and routing performance visibility, enabling enhanced IP automation.

With these solutions, telecommunications service providers will be able to explore data rapidly. As a result, they will accelerate multiple-layer network optimization.
