The Future of Broadband Networking will be Cloud-Centric
In 2021 Gartner estimated that over 95% of new digital workloads will be deployed on cloud-native platforms by 2025. According to a market.us report, the global cloud computing market size is expected to be worth around $2,974.6 billion USD by 2033, up from $629.5 billion USD in 2023. Both studies are a clear indication the movement towards cloud adoption is continuing to grow.
With streaming, online gaming, video conferencing, IoT devices requiring low-latency connections, and emerging AI and edge computing solutions relying on ultra-fast data processing and transmission, it’s no surprise the demand for powerful broadband systems has never been more important. Even considering IoT adoption alone, which is expected to surpass 25 billion connected devices by 2030, the need for robust broadband solutions will only continue to intensify. This growing need places added pressure on broadband networks, making it critical for these networks to be able to handle unprecedented data loads with minimal latency.
In order to meet customers’ expectations for consistent, high-speed internet access, ISPs must maintain their network infrastructure and ensure it’s up to the task. However, it’s challenging for legacy hardware-based networks to adapt to changing demands quickly. As a result, operators are turning to cloud-based solutions to solve for this challenge. With a cloud-centric approach Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can scale quickly, deploy solutions faster, remain agile and meet the evolving needs of their customers. AXON Networks helps ISPs adopt a cloud-centric approach by providing the necessary tools needed for network virtualization, service orchestration, edge computing integration, and real-time monitoring.
Today’s Cloud-Centric Toolbox
Enterprises have embraced cloud computing to reshape the way they operate their businesses because of the increased efficiency, growth, innovation and flexibility they see as a result. With access to companies like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), enterprises are able to leverage an array of cloud services versus depending on on-premise hardware and software, a game-changer in the digital transformation journey.
Edge computing also plays an important role in this transformation, enabling companies to leverage centralized cloud infrastructure and localized edge capabilities, a combination that delivers an efficient and flexible architecture that meets the demands of today’s digital ecosystems.
ISPs are also beginning to transition to a cloud-centric broadband approach because they recognize the scalability, flexibility, and speed of deployment that it enables, empowering them to leverage new technologies faster and stay ahead of customer demand and expectations.
AXON Networks plays a critical role in helping ISPs make this transition by providing the tools needed for network virtualization, intelligent traffic management, scalable bandwidth, and seamless cloud integration. And it begins with AXON Orchestrator (AO). Our robust AI-driven, analytics-based orchestration platform enables ISPs to modernize their networks, enhance service quality, and remain competitive. It also provides centralized management, automation, edge-cloud integration and real-time monitoring and advanced analytics.
With AO, ISPs have a unified control management system that allows them to monitor both on-premises and cloud seamlessly and streamline operations. Moreover, with automation and self-healing capabilities, AO assists ISPs with deploying new solutions faster and detecting and resolving issues quickly. By working with public and private cloud environments, AXON Networks enable ISPs to efficiently integrate cloud services into their networks.
AXON Network’s software defined network (SDN) solutions also help ISPs move away from traditional hardware-based network management and embrace a more agile, software-driven cloud approach. This reduces complexity, enables quicker service rollouts, and enhances the overall flexibility of network configurations.
AXON Networks also helps with the deployment of edge computing, complementing cloud-based networks by processing data closer to the user. This minimizes latency and offloading processing from central cloud data centers.
By intelligently managing network traffic, AXON Networks’ solutions ensure that cloud applications get prioritized, ensuring quality service even during peak usage. Also, cloud-integrated security solutions like encryption, advanced firewalls, and threat detection play an important role in ensuring that data flows securely across networks.
