Rakuten Cloud for Telco Operators & Service Providers

Use Cases

Lower OPEX/CAPEX for RAN and Edge

Deploy standard x86 platforms that support efficient resource utilization, optimized operation and maximized performance on resource-constrained RAN/Edge hardware, across thousands of distributed sites.

Unified Cloud for All Network Functions

Accelerate time-to-market for network services with one-click deployment, workflow automation, a large ecosystem of qualified virtual and containerized network functions and applications.

Network-Intensive Workloads

Leverage an optimized Kubernetes platform with low-latency network connectivity, including SR-IOV/DPDK with CPU pinning, to deliver efficient infrastructure for telecom applications on cost-effective x86 platforms.

Centralized Service Delivery and Automation

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

Lower OPEX

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

Intelligent Infrastructure

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