Growth Factors in the Telecom Cloud Market:

Data Security Demand

In an age of evolving cyber threats and heightened data privacy regulations around the world, telecom providers are prioritizing secure environments in the cloud. As volumes of sensitive network and user data continue to expand, telecom companies are looking for solutions that provide end-to-end encryption, robust identity access management (IAM) with Tiered access control policies, and native compliance features. Telecom cloud services offer capabilities to help organizations comply with frameworks like GDPR, and HIPAA, as well as regional or national telecom regulations, through the use of flexible access controls and advanced security tools and capabilities. In addition, telecom providers entering regions with data sovereignty requirements, are relying on cloud solutions that had geolocation and encryption capabilities. Overall, this increasing focus on flexibility, compliance, and security-first architectures is contributing significantly to the demand for telecom cloud services.

IoT & AI Adoption

Telecom operators are implementing Internet of Things devices and additional AI-based applications at scale, producing a massive demand for data processing and real-time analytics. Public and private cloud infrastructures are facilitating this change by enabling all aspects of smart cities, industrial Internet of Things, predictive maintenance, autonomous network management, and beyond. AI-driven applications require commercial grade compute power at scale to perform such tasks as fraud detection against a dynamic base of end-user behavior, otherwise they won't perform better than traditional approaches. Cloud services allow telecom operators to dynamically alter their footprint and processing ability to lower latency, including new methods to scale analytics, as operational activity demand progressively increases. Consequently, for operators to realize all of the promises related to the integration of Internet of Things and AI across services, cloud-based infrastructure is a critical aspect of the telecom transformation.

Hybrid Cloud Popularity

The increasing complexity of telecommunications - with hybrid and multi-cloud strategies - is moving providers to pursue mixed private / public models for optimal scalability, resilience, and compliance. The public cloud model procures far away, hosted pre-processed data, while the private cloud enables telcos to host sensitive subscriber information or mission critical applications. The hybrid approach minimizes vendor lock-in, enables more effective cost management, and improves service uptime. Hybrid cloud implementations naturally facilitate network function virtualization (NFV) and containerization; both essential step functions to efficiently launch essential 5G and vendor services. This recent trend is solidifying the number of cloud implementations by telecom operators who want agility without compromising detailed security requirements.

Key Trends in the Telecom Cloud Services Market:

Edge Computing Integration

Edge computing is quickly becoming a significant trend, especially with the rise of 5G networks across the telecom industry. Telecom cloud services are further embedding edge nodes in their architecture in order to process data closer to the data source to lower latency and support highly time-sensitive applications like autonomous vehicles, smart grids, and AR/VR. This expands the decentralization of computing with edge and fog computing while complementing central cloud or core capabilities, speeding up processing while creating more efficient bandwidth utilization and capabilities around the telecom network.

Cloud-Native Network Function Virtualization (NFV)

Cloud-native NFV has changed the use and scale of core network functions in telecom operating environments. Telecom companies rely on cloud-based microservices as opposed to hardware-based systems that process network functions, thus allowing tasks like load balancing, routing and switching to happen outside of a fixed, hardware-bound architecture. This provides agencies with agility, reduces CAPEX, and allows for innovative change at speeds never before possible. Cloud services to support core functions will continue to expand as telecoms virtualize even more of their legacy infrastructure.

Rising Demand for Unified Orchestration Platforms

As telecoms adopt hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, the cloud available to providers is complicating management considering telcos need to simultaneously manage use of different types of cloud resources across implementations. There is high interest in Unified orchestration platforms that deliver cross-cloud unified insight, control, workload automation, and performance monitoring. These platforms assist telecommunications with any downstream configurations / provisioning changes while maintaining service continuity, managing cloud resources, while demonstrating compliance using a distributed cloud infrastructure.
