Description
Cloud computing is one of the key business and technology
trends impacting every aspect of the ICT industry. While the
IT industry was succesful in pushing down the cost of
computation and storage, signifcant challenges remain in
the areas of networking, SLA enforcement and security,
traditionally areas of strength for telecom companies. In
this talk we analyze the impact and opportunities of the
cloud computing paradigm for the telecommunication
companies, both as users as well as provider of cloud-based
solutions. Based on the identified opportunities, we describe
the key technological and operational innovations that can
help streamline operations of telecommunication companies
and, at the same time, generate new revenue streams
through differentiating solutions.
