“ True cloud scalability is achieved through a holistic approach encompassing both hardware and software. We prioritise cloudnative design, building applications and pre-tested blueprint architecture with flexibility and scalability in mind. This means leveraging technologies like containers and microservices for efficient deployment and scaling.
Our cloud platform, built on Red Hat OpenShift, utilises optimised hardware and blueprint architecture to handle highperformance workloads and rapid scaling. This platform is designed to leverage the power of reference hardware, ensuring it can meet the demands of even the most complex cloud environments.
Automation is also critical for achieving true scalability. Our cloud operations manager provides automated network functions and optimised resource allocation, allowing for efficient management of cloud environments.
We lead the market with our cloud innovation and technology differentiation, including a strong SaaS portfolio, our any cloud approach, and our early and comprehensive adoption of cloud-native architecture that spans data, voice, subscriber management, AI, service and security operations. Our“ horizontal” cloud strategy provides customers with the flexibility to run CNS( and third party) software on partner platforms such as Red Hat, Google Cloud, Azure and AWS. This allows them to benefit from Nokia’ s best-in-class software running on the best-in-class cloud infrastructure.” technologymagazine. com 191
