How Equinix Metal Helps Orange International Networks  Pop Up New Telco Cloud POPs in Under Two Weeks

When it comes to expanding a telco network that is already among the world's largest, there is the classic way and the Metal way.

The classic way is to add Points-of-Presence (POPs) by acquiring new servers, deploying network functions on them and implementing the orchestration services necessary to make everything run smoothly. This approach may take many months, and it requires the telco to manage and upgrade the hardware indefinitely.

The Metal way is to leverage bare metal servers that are available via an as-a-Service (aaS) model to implement a new PoP. With this strategy, the telco can get up and running in a new location in just a couple of weeks, on demand.
