Ericsson and TIM Brasil, a leading Brazilian communications service provider (CSP), have successfully implemented a cloud-native user database into their live network in their 5G core network, leveraging the hybrid cloud application Red Hat OpenShift. An important milestone has been achieved. platform. This initiative defines a major step in TIM’s 5G evolution and paves the way for new standards in operational efficiency and service agility in the telecommunications industry.
Continuing its track record as an innovation leader, TIM Brazil collaborates with Ericsson to enable cloud-native dual-mode 5G data layer capabilities, offering “In-Service Software Upgrades” (ISSU) and “Rolling Container-as-a-Service Upgrades” made possible. (CaaS RU) functionality on a Red Hat OpenShift cloud environment.
The integration of these capabilities provides TIM Brazil with several advantages and competitive advantages.
New services are faster to market and run across all platforms, with networks up and running, without service interruption.
Agile, automated routines reduce software upgrade lead times and avoid manual intervention for deployment, operations, and maintenance.
Improve operational efficiency by improving hardware utilization and resource allocation with workload instantiation that dynamically adapts to changing application demands in real time.
Improve customer experience by reducing downtime for service and software upgrades.
Further optimization opportunities leverage continuous integration, continuous deployment (CI/CD), and test automation to minimize manual intervention.
