Microsoft announces acquisition of Metaswitch Networks
By MYBRANDBOOK
Microsoft has inked a definitive agreement to acquire UK-based Metaswitch Networks, a provider of virtualised network software and voice, data and communications solutions for operators, for an undisclosed sum.
The convergence of cloud and communication networks presents a unique opportunity for Microsoft to serve operators globally via continued investment in Azure.
Yousef Khalidi, Corporate Vice President, Azure Networking says that this announcement builds on their recent acquisition of Affirmed Networks, which closed on April 23. Metaswitch's complementary portfolio of ultra-high-performance, cloud-native communications software will expand their range of offerings available for the telecommunications industry.
As the industry moves to 5G, operators will have opportunities to advance the virtualization of their core networks and move forward on a path to an increasingly cloud-native future.
Microsoft aims to leverage these two organisations -- extending the Azure platform to both deploy and grow these capabilities at scale in a way that is secure, efficient and creates a sustainable ecosystem.
5G will ultimately give operators a path to accelerate service innovation and deliver new transformative experiences that are faster, more resilient and more secure, spurred on by software advances to drive transformation at scale.
