During a massive two-year cloud migration project for a global internet carrier, I learned the importance of cloud “rightsizing” when pursuing ambitious cloud migration.

Why global networks are the backbone of AI

Network backbone providers will play a critical role in AI’s future by ensuring the high-capacity bandwidth, low-latency and resiliency requirements of AI applications will remain uncompromised. While hyperscalers are busy building for their next moonshot, enterprises should also start futureproofing their networks in anticipation of AI’s demands.

Talking the language of sustainability

With networks spanning hundreds or even thousands of miles, it is no surprise that energy consumption has always been a key concern for telcos when it comes to sustainability. Operating these massive networks not only generates a significant carbon emissions footprint, but also incurs a huge energy bill – both of which will only grow further as data demand increases and network density increases.
