Ecosystem Transformation: Open SourceWhile the adoption of new software-based capabilities is driving communications service providers' ecosystem transformations, not all CSPs are sold on open source. Earlier this year, Heavy Reading and Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. published a report that included a survey that went out to Light Reading's global commuication service provider (CSP) registrants. Most CSPs have embarked on their respective ecosystem transformations, which will culminate in a new type of service provider: the cloud-based, agile digital service provider (DSP), according to the report. (See Digital Ecosystems: CSPs Want More, and Ecosystem Transformation: Readiness & Realities.) More than half of CSPs surveyed are considering running third-party applications in a vendor cloud. In fact, 8% have already implemented this approach, while another 44% are interested and likely to adopt. By contrast, the rest of the respondents seem less likely to implement this approach. For example, 11% are simply not interested because they want to maintain application and security control, while 38% are only somewhat interested. SDN and NFV are playing key roles in enabling digital transformations, but some CSPs still question the value of open source. Here's a look at how CSPs view open source as well their take on the merger of their IT and network domains.
