Lack of expertise and integrated tools, not indifference, is leaving NetOps behind DevOps in the race to automate the deployment pipeline.

In the rush to capitalize on NFV many operators have focused purely on the NFV orchestration, but as they move from trials to production, one key piece is missing

Some in attendance at the computing giant's Ignite event thought that Azure innovation was lacking and that Google was a stronger long-term rival to AWS.

Network virtualization has primarily focused on software. But now there’s interest in the lower layers of the network: commodity hardware and the silicon that drives the hardware.

The operator’s upcoming fixed 5G wireless service launch will likely face some significant challenges in terms of coverage, return on investment, and scalability.

Both cloud-native and traditional organizations must implement a security practice that offers automation, abstraction, flexibility, visibility, and is application-aware.
