Challenge: Telco applications, especially real-time communications, demand both low latency and high performance.
Solution: Edge computing and Quality of Service (QoS)
To reduce latency and optimize network resources in telco cloud design, consider adopting edge computing, using Content Delivery Network (CDN) services, and implementing quality of service (QoS) mechanisms. In edge computing, deploying edge data centers closer to end users reduces the distance data needs to travel and improves response times. These distributed hubs enable faster processing and real-time interactions, benefiting applications such as video streaming and IoT devices. Combining edge computing with CDN services enhances content delivery by caching and delivering content from nearby servers, reducing latency, and optimizing network resources.
