Turkcell supports strategic transformation with Red Hat Training

Turkcell is a digital operator headquartered in Turkey, serving customers with its unique portfolio of digital services along with voice, messaging, data, and multi-screen TV services on its mobile and fixed networks.

Challenge

To stay competitive, Turkcell decided to migrate its network from a hardware-based system to a new, software- and cloud-based network functions virtualization (NFV) infrastructure.

Solution

Hands-on learning has helped the engineers increase their knowledge of Red Hat OpenStack Platform, including best practices for migrating from hardware-based networking and effective management techniques.

Benefits
