Spirent Communications has announced the availability of the industry’s first fully cloud-native solution to help communication service providers and cloud-native network function (CNF) vendors ensure resilient 5G services. An automated test platform, Spirent CloudSure evaluates and validates CNF resiliency within 5G networks with comprehensive testing capabilities to help ensure reliable service delivery, while reducing operational costs and optimising customer experience.
CloudSure has been engineered to help network operators deliver robust and resilient 5G services to end users in the complex and highly dynamic cloud-native world. It enables:
- Reliable service delivery: Confirms that 5G cloud-native network functions operate reliably under the most challenging cloud conditions for uninterrupted service delivery and long-term revenue growth.
- Reduced operational costs: Optimises resource utilisation and validates complex fault recovery mechanisms to avoid costly outages and 5G service interruptions, and reduce operating expenses.
- Enhanced customer experience: Ensures resilient 5G service design, configuration and performance to deliver high quality user experiences, improving customer satisfaction and retention.
- Competitive advantage: Enables reliable, high-performing 5G services that meet customer expectations consistently, for a competitive edge in 5G and to attract new customers.
Ensuring that 5G services survive cloud failures and degradations with minimal or no impact on users is essential to successful adoption of cloud-native technology. A proactive approach and deeper cross-functional coordination are required to manage the complex and dynamic new environment, to get ahead of technology changes and gain visibility into the new, interdependent cloud-native worlds, with multiple vendors and constant release cycles.
