Optimising the hybrid cloud

Communication service providers (CSPs) are well positioned to sell digital services to businesses, but need to simplify and digitally transform their processes and operations.Analysys Mason joins Amdocs, Microsoft and Vanilla Plus to examine how the efficient use of hybrid clouds (private, telco and public clouds) enables CSPs to improve service agility, and even consolidate data centres to reduce their footprint.Increased agility allows CSPs to offer a wider range of innovative services than they can currently, bundling enterprise connectivity with security and cloud services. Amdocs and Microsoft will jointly introduce their new Cloud-Fusion offering. This service is aimed at solving the current complexity and security challenges facing both service providers and enterprises in moving business-critical applications, workloads and data over to the public cloud.
