Compared to classical approach, cloud gives telecommunication companies significant improvement in many of complex processes. Cloud solutions allow its automation and thanks to hardware unification and simplification improve hardware costs and utilization.

Telco cloud improves:

• Network Element commissioning and deployment
• Reacting on network capacity demands – automatic scaling
• Easier and shorter services introduction into the network
• Better and more accurate failure detection
• Fast Reaction on Failures

With telecommunication clouds with costs, challenges and risks:

• High transformation costs
• New competences
• Performance (latency, throughput)
• Security and legal issues
• Legacy architecture
• Change of mindset
