‘‘ business visibility of network elements and other resources , ensuring CSPs can build and operate multi-layer , multivendor networks . This leads to much greater efficiency from a bandwidth utilization perspective .
Meanwhile , virtualized services such as 5G enable operators to take advantage of virtual applications known as Cloud-based Network Functions ( CNFs ), which replace physical network devices and run on servers deployed in data centers .
Support Systems that are burdened by redundant systems and processes , manual labor and human error . With networks becoming increasingly complex , CSPs are taking advantage of orchestration , analytics and ML to automate their network and service operations .
With a more virtualized , intelligent and automated approach to network operations wherever possible , CSPs can greatly reduce their reliance on legacy hardware and , in turn , reduce their carbon footprint substantially . p
Finally , the implementation of intelligent automation is enabling CSPs to abandon siloed , legacy Operations
