About this episode

The episode explores how telcos update networks without downtime, featuring insights from Franz Seiser of Deutche Telekom.

How do you update a network without downtime? This week, Technology Now is diving into the world of telcos and how they keep critical infrastructure running while continuing to improve their systems. We ask how silos have been used historically by telcos, how AI and cloud are being embraced and how you manage the switch from old to new architecture without impacting users. Franz Seiser, Head of the Data Tribe at Deutche Telekom, tells us more. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Sam Jarrell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.
