An Era of Dramatic Telco Transformation
Telco providers have been in the forefront of network design and technology innovation for decades. In recent years, change has accelerated with the advent of network functions virtualization (NFV) and the even more dramatic changes from cloud native network functions (CNF).
Pure Storage is a partner for hundreds of global providers, including all 10 of the 10 largest telcos. With thousands of arrays deployed, Pure Storage has delivered on its promises of robust storage performance, exceptional reliability and industry leading efficiency for power and space consumption. As providers transition to cloud-native services, Pure Storage is supporting them with Portworx®, the leading platform for Kubernetes native data management.
Telecommunications operators provide essential connectivity services that are vital to the future prosperity of people, business, and nations. Connectivity demands will increase in coming decades, driven by the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of things (IoT), smart cities and hundreds of new 5G enabled use cases across healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, education, retail, and more.
To compete and prosper, operators will need to continually improve 5G, fixed wireless access capabilities and RAN while expanding into new service offerings. Yet at the same time, many face CAPEX scarcity and are challenged to return shareholder value.
Pure Storage works with carriers not only to deliver data solutions but to provide a range of subscription options and financing arrangements that can help with cash flow and ROI. Further reductions in operational costs come from the many benefits of Pure Storage.
More Data Stored
Exceptional data reduction lowers overall storage costs. One major carrier has seen 4.1:1 data reduction across a fleet of over 200 arrays.
Uptime with no Maintenance Window
One carrier has seen 100% uptime for five years, even while completing over 100 non-disruptive hardware upgrades and over 1,000 non-disruptive software upgrades.
Savings on Power & Rack Space
A major carrier replaced nearly a PB of hybrid storage and realized a 94% reduction in footprint and an 89% reduction in power and cooling costs.
