5G Factor Video Research Note: Red Hat Becomes the Primary Infrastructure Platform for Nokia's Core Network Applications

In this vignette of The 5G Factor, Ron Westfall and Steve Dickens provide their perspective on Red Hat becoming the primary infrastructure platform for Nokia’s Core Network Applications. The conversation focused on: Red Hat Becomes the Primary Infrastructure Platform for Nokia's Core Network Applications. Nokia and Red Hat reached an agreement to integrate Nokia’s core network applications with Red Hat OpenStack Platform and RedHat OpenShift. 350 personnel at Nokia will be transferring to Red Hat as Nokia moves on from developing the platforms that host its software. The duo will jointly support and evolve existing Nokia Container Services (NCS) and Nokia CloudBand Infrastructure Software (CBIS) customers while developing a path for customers to migrate to Red Hat’s platforms. We delve into the implications for the 5G ecosystem and telco cloud journeys.
