Red Hat Official ☛ Top features for telco in the cloud
Telco network functions are crucial for providing services like voice calls and data, but are also being used in exciting new areas, such as connected cars, drones, and self-driving systems that need fast, low latency, highly reliable communication. Running on network functions (NF), including virtual network functions (VNFs) in virtualized environments and CNFs in cloud-native containerized contexts, telco applications differ from traditional IT applications. Unlike a typical IT application with freedom in resource usage, a telco application must consistently meet much stricter performance requirements. In addition, telco networks are increasingly supporting advanced industrial uses, such as smart factories and remote robotics, where Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and quick data collection play a vital role.
