Cloud Consolidation Drives 35% Capex Reduction

Unlock transformative savings and operational efficiency with VisionWorks. A leading North American Tier 1 communications service provider (CSP) achieved an impressive 35% reduction in annual capital expenditures (Capex) by unifying multiple siloed vendor-specific private clouds into a single, horizontally integrated platform. This ambitious initiative not only cut costs but also enhanced network agility and scalability, ensuring the CSP remains future-ready in an ever-evolving telecom landscape.

The Challenge

Managing siloed private clouds for multiple 5G vendors led to substantial redundancies and inefficiencies, consuming up to 35% of the CSP’s annual Capex budget. With 5G adoption maturing, industry-wide cost pressures necessitated a bold shift toward operational optimization. Spirent enabled the CSP to streamline operations, eliminate equipment redundancies, and optimize their cloud infrastructure, ensuring seamless performance for latency-sensitive applications such as voice and video.
