Today’s business relies more and more on digital performance, speed and agility. To keep pace with these demands, communications service providers (CSPs) and network operators are continually
pressured to enhance customer experience with faster speeds, lower latency, and a new generation of innovative services. Over time, legacy network architecture becomes increasingly inefficient and
outdated, making it costly and time-consuming to maintain and operate. The older equipment tends to be larger than today’s, occupying valuable floor space, as well as producing excessive heat and
consuming large amounts of power…

The CrowdStrike BSOD (Blue Screen of Death ― Windows crash and failed reboot) incident is a warning of things to come. It is a symptom of how we rely heavily on networks that are increasing in
scale, complexity, and volatility. It is only going to get worse with the wide scale implementations of GenAI. To effectively respond, innovative ways to monitor, prevent, and fix problems will
need to be developed and deployed. The CrowdStrike Incident in Perspective The old Telco wired networks were designed to a “5 nines” reliability standard, meaning they would run reliably 99…
