Rakuten Cloud for Network Equipment Vendors & OEMs

Use Cases

Resource Optimized

Ensures efficient resource utilization and operation, maximizing performance on resource-constrained RAN/Edge hardware, across thousands of distributed sites.

Ecosystem Integration

Accelerates time-to-revenue for network services through one-click deployment, workflow automation, and a large ecosystem of qualified network functions and applications.

Enhanced Network Policies

An optimized Kubernetes platform features low-latency network connectivity, including SR-IOV/DPDK, and CPU pinning to deliver efficient infrastructure for deploying telecom applications on low-cost X86 platforms.

Metal to Service Orchestration

Automate the entire lifecycle of hardware, Kubernetes clusters and network functions provisioning from thousands of sites from core to edge. This includes centralized control, real-time monitoring and self-healing for efficient, power-optimized operations.

Equipment and Asset Performance Management

Monitor equipment health, predict failures, and schedule maintenance to minimize downtime and optimize asset utilization, leveraging equipment data.

Security Quality Control and Compliance

Ensure quality and compliance in manufacturing while addressing challenges like protecting intellectual property and implementing robust cybersecurity for trust.

Drive Cloud-Native Success with Rakuten Cloud

Operational Expenditure Reduction (OPEX)

Automate infrastructure and Network Function lifecycle management to significantly reduce manual effort, optimize resource utilization, and consolidate infrastructure management across thousands of edge and far-edge sites, minimizing costs and energy consumption.

High Performance

Deliver optimal performance for critical network functions and latency-sensitive enterprise applications through intelligent workload placement. Rakuten Cloud's high availability and automated healing capabilities minimize service disruption.

Integrated Multi-tenancy

Enable efficient sharing of infrastructure resources at core and edge with integrated multi-tenancy. Rakuten Cloud supports telco cloud shared across multiple operators, private 5G and shared services use cases.

Network Function Modernization

Provide a secure foundation for adopting future containerized Open RAN, core and edge technologies, and evolving network architectures. Rakuten Cloud ensures compatibility with existing investments and offers robust, integrated security against evolving threats.
