Deutsche Telekom’s Horizontal TelCo Cloud (HTC) Establishes a New Industry Blueprint for Telco Clouds
Telecom networks are evolving toward cloud native and automated architectures, moving beyond siloed and vertically integrated stacks that limit agility and innovation. Deutsche Telekom’s Horizontal TelCo Cloud (HTC) brings this transformation to life. Built on a common cloud infrastructure layer, a unified cloud native ecosystem, and a centralised automation platform, HTC replaces monolithic stacks with reusable and scalable platforms. The impact is clear: software validation reduced from 6 to 9 months to 7 days, network fabric upgrades from 4 weeks to a few days, and cloud infrastructure ready within 40 days.
