Elisa Oyj, Elisa Polystar, and Wind River have reached a significant accomplishment by implementing cloud infrastructure, cloud-native network functions, and comprehensive monitoring for telecommunications edge data centers utilizing Wind River® Studio Conductor and the Elisa Polystar Customer Experience Assurance solution. This milestone allows telecommunications service providers to enhance their distributed edge deployments on a large scale with cost efficiency and improved network performance. Studio Conductor offers a consolidated platform for overseeing and automating deployment in expansive cloud environments.

Meanwhile, Elisa Polystar Customer Experience Assurance provides enhanced visibility, network tracking, and problem-solving features to ensure top-tier customer satisfaction. The companies have proven that their technology, created together using the Studio Conductor automation framework, can greatly decrease deployment time and operator intervention time. For example, the time required to audit the configuration of the hardware underneath can be decreased by 80%, with the time spent on human interaction reduced by 90%. By automating the network function onboarding process, savings of 70-90% can be realized.

These enhancements underscore the advantages of high levels of automation in network operations. Markus Kinnunen, the vice president of Cloud Services at Elisa, conveyed enthusiasm for automating the lifecycle management of applications deployed at the edge. Working with Wind River allows Elisa to provide advanced automation, reducing deployment time and improving network quality.
