“The adoption rate of telco clouds by service providers is highly varied. Ribbon’s Telco Cloud portfolio is designed to enable services at all stages of a network operator’s transformation journey: from bare metal hardware, to virtual machines and virtual network functions, and now cloud-native network functions. Ribbon is delivering a broad set of deployment choices, enabling its customers to evolve at their own pace for each specific network function while gaining increased value,” said Roy Chua, Founder and Principal, AvidThink.

The latest additions to Ribbon’s Telco Cloud offering have been designed to deliver significantly reduced deployment costs and increased resiliency, while leveraging existing tools and employee skill sets for additional efficiencies.
