Once data is available in real time, it must be manageable at scale. The telecom industry is experiencing exponential growth in data as they expand deployments outside their main data centers. Organizations are turning to cloud applications to analyze data and derive insights from ever-growing dispersed datasets. However, data has mass and gravity. The more data grows, the more challenging it is to move, process, and protect. As telecom organizations scale their deployments towards edge and RAN, managing data in a hybrid deployment environment becomes more important.
