We’ve all heard the phrase “change is the only constant.” But what we don’t often hear is the other constant: Change is always accelerating. Today, communications service providers (CSPs) compete in a world where change is happening faster than ever, as 5G takes hold and customers in enterprise organizations look for ways to connect and act on data being generated literally everywhere so they can make faster, more accurate business decisions. In fact, the opportunity at the edge – all the places outside of the data center where data is generated and consumed – has been estimated to be worth $700 billion¹ by 2030. With their global networks and points of presence, CSPs are poised to seize this edge opportunity with innovative new services, but first they need to address their network flexibility challenges.
