The 8 Challenges of Cloud-Native Deployments for BSS Applications
Cloud-native deployments have transformed software development. According to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s 2021 Annual Survey, 96% of organizations are using or evaluating Kubernetes. More specifically, 5.6 million developers are using Kubernetes, too — a 67%increase from just last year. Cloud-native architectures enable loosely coupled services to be scalable, manageable, and observable. When combined with [...]
What is Convergent Charging?
Convergent charging is a solution that enables telco operators to offer and manage a variety of different services — including voice, video, data, and multimedia — and charge customers on a prepaid or post-paid basis. With a convergent charging solution in place, telcos can simplify their billing and charging systems to reduce operating expenses and [...]
What is Quality of Service (QoS)?
Quality of Service (QoS) encompasses the tools and technologies that enable telco operators to ensure networks, applications, and services are highly performant regardless of network capacity. By giving network admins visibility into important metrics and allowing them to allocate bandwidth to mission-critical applications as traffic ebbs and flows, QoS technologies ensure that high-priority networks and [...]
What is High Availability and Why Do You Need it?
