Conclusion
This study explored scalable network migration strategies in telecom data center consolidation using a case study approach. It highlights that successful migration requires not only technical expertise but also strong organizational planning. With phased execution, SDN, and hybrid cloud adoption, telecom providers can reduce risks and improve efficiency. Despite challenges like legacy systems and regulatory constraints, effective governance and automation enable successful transformation. Ultimately, scalable consolidation enhances cost efficiency, service performance, and infrastructure agility.
