Today’s communication service providers (CSPs) grapple with the dual challenge of swift innovation and managing increasingly complex operations. In response, Ericsson and Google Cloud have introduced Ericsson On-Demand, a cutting-edge SaaS solution that transforms the management of core network services. This collaboration provides CSPs with the agility to deploy and scale core services rapidly while maintaining pace with evolving industry demands. The service leverages Google Cloud’s advanced AI capabilities and Kubernetes Engine (GKE), enabling CSPs to provision services in mere minutes, scale dynamically, and pay solely for the resources they use. This eliminates the need for cumbersome initial capital investments and the heavy burden of maintaining extensive infrastructure, allowing CSPs to focus more on innovation and less on operational headaches.
Transforming CSP Operations with Advanced Features
Ericsson On-Demand offers a robust suite of features that are essential in today’s telecommunications field, notably the swift provisioning ability. This allows Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to quickly adapt to market fluctuations without suffering long delays. Its elastic scalability lets services dynamically adjust according to demand, optimizing resource use and cutting costs. The consumption-based pricing model further aids CSPs in cost management by charging only for what is utilized, avoiding hefty fixed costs. Enhanced security, including geo-restricted deployments and cloud-native firewalls, ensures telecom-grade reliability while incorporating the flexibility of public cloud systems.
Ericsson bridges the gap between traditional telecom services and modern cloud solutions with its 24/7 Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams. These teams excel in AI-driven problem-solving and automation, enhancing availability and resilience. With Google Cloud’s infrastructure in 42 global regions, CSPs can meet compliance requirements and broaden their global reach. This partnership between Ericsson and Google Cloud marks a shift towards agile operations, empowering CSPs to innovate and expand in a competitive market. Together, they lead in transforming CSP operations and equipping them to succeed in a dynamic landscape.
