Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are in the middle of a data-driven transformation. The current scale and pace of change in the Telecommunications sector is being driven by the rapid evolution of new technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, advanced data analytics, and edge computing. This is opening up new revenue opportunities, use cases, and even the possibility for different types of business models within the sector, changing the way that CSPs operate.

In the final installment in the series, Vijay Raja, Director of Industry & Solutions Marketing at Cloudera shares his views on how the telecom sector is changing and where it goes next. Hi Vijay, thank you so much for joining us again. To continue where we left off, how are ML and IoT influencing the Telecom sector, and how is Cloudera supporting this industry evolution?

Recently, Cloudera announced the release of Cloudera CDP Private Cloud, delivering the final component of our hybrid cloud strategy. There’s nothing comparable to it in the industry. CDP Private Cloud offers benefits of a public cloud architecture—autoscaling, isolation, agile provisioning, etc.—in an on-premise environment.

It is hard to believe if you have had previous experience with setting up, sizing, and deploying a distributed search engine service that this is possible. Imagine how many times IT has lost valuable time spending hours trying to understand Apache Solr application requirements and map them into how to best size and deploy the Solr service. Time that is lost to Line of Business as well.

Live data-streaming offers businesses exciting new opportunities to transform the way they operate, leveraging real-time insights to drive better decision making and enhance operational efficiency.

In part 2 of the series focusing on the impact of evolving technology on the telecom industry, we sat down with Vijay Raja, Director of Industry & Solutions Marketing at Cloudera to get his views on how the sector is changing and where it goes next. Hi Vijay, thank you so much for joining us again. To continue where we left off, as industry players continue to shift toward a more 5G centric network, how is 5G impacting the industry from a data perspective?

There’s no doubt that cloud has become ubiquitous, and thank goodness for that in 2020. We wouldn’t have survived the challenges of this year without cloud. It’s supported everything, from the sudden changes in the way we work to the way we access healthcare and even shop for vital goods. While cloud is the vehicle, it’s what sits on it that makes it so valuable — data.
