Traditional networks are siloed, expensive to build and to automate and too inflexible to support future services. Operators must accelerate the disaggregation of software-based network functions from physical infrastructure and invest in an open and cloud-native programmable network platform (PNP) to safeguard their networks for the future.

Key questions answered in this report

  • What is operational technology (OT) transformation and what is the impact of introducing key IT transformation to the network?
  • Why is the network separating into physical infrastructure and a PNP?
  • What are the benefits of a cloud-native PNP?
  • Which network domains are moving fastest to becoming cloud-native?
  • What are the critical success factors for implementing a PNP?
