Assuring the Promise of Hybrid Cloud Services

Cloud-native networks offer tremendous benefits – greater agility, faster release time, shorter time-to-market, lower costs, and the potential for telcos to avoid vendor lock-in.

As network providers race to take advantage of clouds, how can they ensure that their services operate as promised and their customers enjoy the superior experience they expect? Hybrid clouds require enhanced collaboration with vendors and heightened vigilance against cyberattacks.

In this paper, we look at the trends that are driving these challenges, particularly the move to hybrid clouds, and examine how test and assurance needs to evolve to support the agile new services running on cloud-native networks.
