Next-Gen Digital Infra summit – Q&A day 2

Panel Discussion

This live Q&A show was broadcast at the end of day two of the Next-Gen Digital Infra summit. TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels was joined by industry guest panellists for this question and answer session. Among the questions raised by our audience were:

  • How do you maintain cloud-native pipelines across dispersed MEC nodes and central datacentre clusters?
  • With storage volumes growing fast, how do you decide what data is worth keeping and what can be thrown away?
  • How compelling are the cost savings when telecom workloads move back from public to private cloud?
  • Is there any best practice to manage who owns which data and who is allowed to use it?
  • What role does AI play in telco private cloud? What ONE key area should I be focusing on?
