Metaswitch Networks: Enriching Telecom Industry with Cloud-native Solutions
Martin Lund, CEO Evolving over the years, cloud technology is undergoing novel transitions—providing further impetus to the technological world. Today, such transitions have kindled a buzzword called “cloud-native,” which is resonating strongly throughout the cloud-powered businesses. What is cloud-native? Well, it is an approach to build and run software applications in the cloud with the use of containers, microservices, orchestration, and infrastructure that is expressed in codes. Unlike traditional cloud-based software, cloud-native software enables faster development and easy deployment, along with scalability and improved margins. Bug-eyed by these benefits, every industry is hustling to embrace this approach, and the telecom sector is not an exception. Moreover, with traditional cloud software, telecom companies are drifting to control the increasing growth of traffic driven by mobile and video. Dismayed by this technical impediment , most of these enterprises are seeking for the best cloud-native solution provider. And, to their view, they could only see Metaswitch standing in silhouette among the other solution stacks. Being a global leader in cloud-native communications software solutions, the company is envisioned to seamlessly innovate the telecom market. At least that is the position of Martin Lund, CEO of Metaswitch, who is poised to be the driving force of the company. “Innovation is something we all like to talk about in the tech sector. At Metaswitch, we don’t just talk about innovation, we do it every day,” says Lund.
