Strategy report | PPTX and PDF (6 slides) | Cloud and AI Infrastructure| NaaS Platforms and Infrastructure
Most communications service provider (CSP) data-centre networks are not ready for the automation, programmability and agility requirements of 5G, edge and NaaS opportunities. Operational complexity is the primary barrier to data-centre network automation, which stems from vendor and technology silos, as well as fragmented management and automation solutions, including DIY/in-house tools. CSPs also face organisational barriers to data-centre automation, such as a lack of investment prioritisation and backing from C-level executives, an automation-first mindset, and the necessary skill sets.
