Video series - Why move to the cloud?

It's safer

Jean-Marc Coïc, Intersec CTO

Security is one of the core benefits of our cloud approach. By supporting the 3GPP CNF initiative, we have modernized our solutions around containerized, cloud-native architectures that significantly strengthen protection and quality. Customers no longer need to manage operating system upgrades or maintain large software stacks.

Instead, they rely on streamlined, up-to-date images that reduce the attack surface and improve consistency across environments. Automation and repeatable deployments help remove human errors and ensure long-term stability. Data protection also benefits from stronger isolation, since containerized workloads run on software-defined networks within Kubernetes. Altogether, this approach simplifies operations while raising the overall security baseline.

It's unavoidable

Christophe Nez, VP Product

Necessity is what drives the cloud transition for our customers. Public authorities and operators must respond faster than ever, whether it is delivering flood alerts, handling emergency calls, or accessing critical location information in urgent situations. Expectations have risen while technological change keeps accelerating, especially with new AI capabilities and stronger security requirements.

In this context, keeping systems up to date and consistently secure has become essential. Cloud deployment meets this need by enabling rapid updates, frequent feature delivery, and continuous security reinforcement. For Intersec, the goal is straightforward: provide all the benefits of the cloud regardless of how it is deployed, from on-premise environments to private cloud infrastructures.

It's more efficient

Nicolas Rigaud, PO Team Lead

Flexibility is a defining strength of our cloud model. Containerization allows us to deliver updates more frequently and give customers early access to new features without waiting for full releases. This approach improves collaboration between development and operations teams and ensures that services can be quickly scaled, resumed, or replaced with minimal disruption. When performance issues arise, resources can be adjusted instantly to optimize costs and maintain service continuity.

Our containerized deployments also reduce dependency on specific vendors. Workloads can move between cloud providers or from cloud to on-premises environments with ease. For our customers, this flexibility translates into faster evolution and long-term operational freedom.

It's simpler

Clément Vandoolaeghe, Head of Platform Operations

Simplicity guides how we design and operate our cloud architecture. We provide a straightforward DevOps model that adapts to both small on-premise deployments and large Kubernetes clusters like OpenShift, widely used in the telecom industry. Our products integrate natively with telco-grade requirements, supporting capabilities such as SR-IOV, DPDK, OpenStack integration, and multiple telecom certifications. We also support lightweight alternatives such as RKE for customers seeking flexible and efficient Kubernetes options.

Beyond technology, we prioritize customer experience. Our global monitoring platform delivers proactive maintenance, early detection of weak signals, and clear performance dashboards. This combination ensures reliable operations while keeping the user experience simple.

It's value-driven

Sebastien Synold, Product Manager

Innovation is at the heart of cloud transformation for telecom operators. Cloud deployment accelerates delivery cycles, allowing new services and features to roll out in weeks rather than months. This agility strengthens customer relationships through improved lifecycle management, live monitoring, and smarter capacity planning. Operational teams gain time by shifting away from hardware maintenance and toward value-driven initiatives.

The financial model also evolves, moving from heavy upfront investments to a flexible OPEX approach that optimizes infrastructure costs and energy consumption. With instant scalability and simplified operations, the cloud enables telecoms to innovate faster, enhance service quality, and focus on long-term strategic growth.
