Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are upgrading their network services on the back of fast-paced cloud adoption and transformation in enterprises. In addition to providing traditional connectivity offerings, such as LAN and WAN, these providers are investing in next-generation technologies such as private 5G, multi-cloud connectivity, IoT & edge connectivity, predictive networking, and SD-WAN. At their end, enterprise customers are increasingly demanding scalability, virtualization, ease of adoption, higher bandwidth, and efficient performance from CSPs. These providers are leveraging their expertise in network services to help customers shift from their legacy network infrastructure and, in fact, transform it to sustain in a futuristic model.
