Telco clouds differ significantly from enterprise clouds. While the two share some characteristics, specific workloads, hardware, low-latency, adaptability and other requirements separate telco clouds from their enterprise counterparts.

• Telco cloud’s unique characteristics, requirements and challenges
• How 5G, MEC and other advances are shaping the way telco clouds are packaged and sold
• The role of a horizontal platform in creating a consistent experience across all aspects of the network
• How open source ecosystem diversity and interoperability accelerate the pace of telco cloud innovation.
