Blue Planet Unveils Industry’s Only Multi-Cloud Native OSS Platform - Seite 2

Executive Comments:

• “The Blue Planet Cloud Native Platform transcends the traditional approach of custom ‘spaghetti integrations’ that have shackled CSPs’ ability to be adaptable, open and agile. We are pioneering a new level of convergence that embraces the cloud and transforms the OSS to be a competitive differentiator, reducing operational costs and allowing for rapid creation of new business models.”
  - Joe Cumello, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Blue Planet
  

• “CSPs’ legacy OSS is a complex environment of highly customized, siloed systems that represent a constraint on growth and greater agility. The new Blue Planet Cloud Native Platform consolidates Blue Planet's unique capabilities, telecom experience, and cloud-native vision, giving CSPs a foundation for simplifying and modernizing their operations.”
  - Francis Haysom, Principal Analyst, Appledore Research
  

• “Communication service providers are digitally transforming their networks by transitioning their OSS workloads to Google Cloud. Utilizing Kubernetes as the foundation of their new platform, Blue Planet will not only streamline service providers' evolution to a modernized, AI-driven and cloud-native OSS, but also help drive faster innovation, lower operational costs, and greatly improve end-user experiences.”
  - Ankur Jain, Vice President, Google Distributed Cloud Engineering & Telco Industry, Google Cloud
