Testing Strategies: Power & Cooling Reduction in 5G Networks

As the demand for 5G services and cloud-native infrastructures grows, the need to reduce power and cooling costs has become a critical challenge for CSPs. This consumption leads to increased operational expenses and environmental impacts, making it essential to develop optimal efficiency solutions. Cloud-Native Network Functions (CNFs) offer a solution to these challenges using autoscaling technologies. This white paper explores the essentials of comprehensive real-world testing of these autoscaling mechanisms, utilizing advanced validation strategies, to ensure a truly integrated CNF solution across all phases of operation – from lab to live – to deliver exceptional power and cooling savings and reliable operational efficiency.
