What is TCS HOBS?

Challenge

CSP network operators look to capture data from different devices and build a homogenized data lake for zero-touch automation and intelligent operations. However, devices from different manufacturers require their own configuration and monitoring tools, resulting in enterprises monitoring and managing devices in silos. The absence of a centralized platform also makes data analytics challenging, reducing visibility into services and network infrastructure. Further, traditional products do not support cloud deployment, which impacts scalability and elasticity.
