Cloud Computing and Its Impact on Telecommunication Infrastructure

EasyChair Preprint 14818

Abstract

Cloud computing has fundamentally transformed the landscape of telecommunication infrastructure, enabling more scalable, flexible, and cost-efficient operations. By offloading computing resources, storage, and processing power to the cloud, telecommunication providers can enhance their network performance and reduce the reliance on traditional, hardware-based systems. This shift to cloud-native architectures facilitates the deployment of network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN), which streamline the management of network services and enable rapid scalability. Additionally, cloud computing supports the expansion of edge computing, allowing data processing to occur closer to the source and reducing latency. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in cloud-based telecommunications is also improving predictive maintenance, resource management, and security. However, this transformation raises concerns regarding data privacy, security, and dependency on third-party cloud providers. This paper discusses the impact of cloud computing on telecommunication infrastructure, examining the benefits, challenges, and future prospects of this evolving synergy.
