Navigating through the “Promise vs. Risk” Conundrum in New Technology Implementation like 5G
Mobile data consumption is growing exponentially with the rapid growth of smartphones/tablets and bandwidth-hungry applications (Video/Music Streaming, Rich Media Communication and personal Cloud services, etc.) that they run. Analysts predict that Wireless Data Traffic will increase by 300% in 2017, compared with what it was in 2012.
The AR/VR industry is projected to grow at the rate of 35% CAGR over next 4 years with an incremental growth of $125+ Billion according to Technavio(www.technavio.com) . This coincides well with the increasing 5G deployments in different parts of the world. 5G should help AR & VR use cases to be deployed across various industries which in turn will help its adoption, exponential growth and monetization. With the restrictions on travel and in person meetings, AR/VR could turn out to be a savior in otherwise grim scenario, enabling many industries to provide an immersive experience to their employees and customers which is almost as good as in person communication with complete hands free experience.
With the Shift-left in the System Integration Approach from “boots-on-the ground” to “engineering till the farthest-mile”, HCL is in an unique position to weave together its Strong Engineering DNA , Network Domain and Vertical use-case understanding and strong suite of IP s into an Compelling Journey - Navigating through the risks even as it offers its services to accelerate the monetization value of 5G Technology to its Clients.
To reap benefit of 5G, networks need to be more flexible and agile and containers are the key as they will provide improved efficiency as well as reduced cost. However, every operator will evolve at its own pace and will have its own cloud transformation journey – some might have only containers, some only virtual machines and some having hybrid environment comprising of both containers and virtual machines. The optimal deployment which most operators prefer is movement towards hybrid cloud approach i.e having both containers and virtual machines. There are many challenges associated with hybrid cloud environment like – hybrid Infrastructure deployment, hybrid infrastructure and application management and end to end automation of virtualized and containerized workloads. HCLs BluGenie Solution can help operator to overcome these challenges of hybrid cloud environment
Imagine a world where you can have a 3D full immersion conference call with your colleagues wherever they may physically be in the world…Imagine a world where you can easily live stream on Instagram, a goal scored by your favourite player during the final of European Champions League from the stadium….Imagine a world where drones deliver directly at home what you have purchased on eShops….Imagine a world where you can relax while your autonomous car is driving safely and takes you home during rush hour…Imagine a world where your doctor is remotely assisting you during transportation to the hospital…Is that world coming in a far future? No, it is not far future, it is tomorrow, when 5G is deployed!
The 5G revolution is coming and will require a huge investment from Telecom Service Providers. Click on the blog title to continue reading
‘Industrialized Networks’ or ‘Verticalized Networks’ is the unsung hero of modern digital transformation initiatives. It offers a continuum of connectivity options that helps vertical industries thrive their operating models and develop new products and services. Traditionally, enterprise networks have lived in the shadow of IT teams which were primarily responsible for system upgrades and adherence to service-level agreements like uptime or downtime.
Over the past few years, businesses across the spectrum have displayed faster digital adoption than ever before. As digital becomes synonymous with doing business in the 21st century, more devices are connecting to network clusters. In 2020, the pandemic only sped up this digital adoption trend, and rapidly drove traditional ways of studying, working, living, and doing business onto digital platforms. While businesses across industries exhibit and rely on greater digital maturity for growth and survival, the need to reimagine the network infrastructure with new technologies is becoming a ticking time-bomb.
Digital transformation offers a compelling vision; promising new avenues of growth— reinforcing the need for low-latency at the edge, low response times, and wider information highways. With the fourth industrial revolution underway, connected manufacturing and smart factories require a digital foundation, necessary to catalyze adoption of new technologies such as digital twins, industrial IoT (IIoT), and collaborative robots. Objects ranging from cars and appliances to watches and apparel are learning and organizing themselves to fulfil our needs by automatically adapting to our behavior, environment, or business processes. The success of V2X technology requires real-time data analytics to drive instantaneous actions, such as collision warnings and emergency vehicle alerts without network latency.
Think about the mining and construction industry, where using zero network latency architectures, unmanned machines can be remote-controlled, saving crane operators the risks of working in dangerous circumstances. Millions of IoT devices, smart offices, and homes are interacting with each other, every minute, to deliver a superior user experience, automation, and cost efficiency. Real-time adjustments optimize network latency for military-grade precision equipment, robotic surgery, and associated AR/VR simulations. Let us say the tethering with AR and VR will take place using a 5G connection; what about the connectivity between mobile devices and headsets? Can 5G alone fulfil the economy of high-speed pervasive connectivity? What does it take to realize the full potential of the edge value chain?
Traditionally, much like operating systems, cloud computing platforms have provided basic underlying programs to help companies seamlessly access software applications and physical servers from remote locations. While conventional cloud services have helped companies cut costs and focus closely on core business operations, distributed cloud services add an additional geographic advantage shifting data and computing closer to the user base.
The distributed cloud model takes services from public cloud providers and spreads them out to specific physical locations, including offloading of data governance and operations to the public cloud provider or relocating public cloud services to a localized edge cloud server. Distributed cloud computing also helps companies expand the conventional data-center oriented cloud model to a set of smaller distributed cloud infrastructure components that are geographically scattered.
The real value of distributed cloud computing though lies in the way how it provides a flexible execution-rich environment for application micro-opponents to function seamlessly across geographically distributed servers. With operations thus being closer to the parties that need them, organizations can witness major boosts in performance thanks to the absences of latency issues, and no real risks of a global network outage that could hamper their local services. Additionally, the “substations” that facilitate this distributed cloud network across key locations ensures increased compliance with growing regulatory requirements for data being stored in specific customer locations.
Cloud is the new center of gravity in the IT landscape. While traditional data centers are slowly becoming redundant, businesses expect their IT leaders to prioritize generating business value and improving time to market rather than merely lowering costs. Today, more organizations are looking to take advantage of hybrid and multi-cloud architectures to deliver their applications. As applications become increasingly distributed, it will become essential to provide automated, secure, and high-performance multi-cloud networking. With multi-cloud becoming the next stage in the digital transformation journey, enterprises must re-evaluate their network transit strategies to ensure seamless access, centralized control, and complete visibility across cloud service provider (CSP) infrastructures.
For enterprises, Azure Infrastructure Monitoring Strategy is a compelling feature. It is very important for the cloud-based services that the enterprise consume. There are sets of Azure native monitoring capabilities which proactively monitor, identify and notify anomalies to the desired set of people.
