This white paper serves as an essential guide for service providers aiming to deploy a telco cloud-native data center optimized for performance and security. It addresses the pressing need for telecommunication companies to embrace cloud-native architectures, which are pivotal for supporting new services like 5G, AI, and edge computing in an app-driven world.
Traditional data center approaches and existing security measures are often insufficient for the highly dynamic, distributed, and multi-tenant environments that characterize modern telco infrastructure, leaving expanded attack surfaces and posing significant management challenges.
This white paper offers critical insights into five key considerations for this transformation, detailing how the joint solution from SUSE and Radware provides a comprehensive, Kubernetes-native platform to address these challenges:
Traditional data center approaches and existing security measures are often insufficient for the highly dynamic, distributed, and multi-tenant environments that characterize modern telco infrastructure, leaving expanded attack surfaces and posing significant management challenges.
This white paper offers critical insights into five key considerations for this transformation, detailing how the joint solution from SUSE and Radware provides a comprehensive, Kubernetes-native platform to address these challenges:
- Fortifying the Dynamic Attack Surface: Discover how to secure workloads, APIs, and east-west traffic within Kubernetes clusters, moving beyond perimeter-only protection to full-stack, application, and API-level security.
- Ensuring Performance, Availability, and Resilience: Learn about a purpose-built, telco-optimized edge computing platform designed for deterministic, low-latency performance and high-throughput data paths.
- Streamlining Management Across Distributed and Multi-Tenant Environments: Understand how to centralize Kubernetes operations and policy enforcement across hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge deployments, simplifying the management of complex, multi-tenant infrastructures at scale.
- Embedding Security into the DevSecOps Pipeline: Explore how to integrate security seamlessly into your CI/CD pipelines, ensuring security is "built-in, not bolted on," with automated policy enforcement, container image scanning, and real-time monitoring.
- Ensuring Compliance and Governance: See how the solution helps meet strict regulatory requirements for industries like telco, offering centralized policy management, compliance templates (e.g., PCI, GDPR, HIPAA, NIST), and continuous vulnerability detection.
