In this interview from Red Hat Summit 2026, Fran Heeran, vice president and head of global telecommunications business at Red Hat, joins theCUBE's Rob Strechay and Rebecca Knight to discuss how telecommunications companies are finally moving from decades of siloed infrastructure to unified cloud platforms — and why that shift is accelerating now. Heeran explains that telcos have historically built each network application with its own dedicated infrastructure stack, creating fragmented environments where lifecycle management and consistent security patching grow increasingly difficult as networks become more distributed. He details how OpenShift Virtualization addresses this by giving operators a single platform to manage both virtual machines and containers across the core network, IT systems and the far edge. One New Zealand offers a concrete illustration — by consolidating onto a common Red Hat platform, the carrier is deploying new workloads up to 50% faster than in its previous siloed environment. The conversation also explores how digital sovereignty is reshaping telco strategy in Europe and beyond. Heeran highlights Telenet Business in Belgium, which migrated its entire VM estate away from legacy infrastructure while preserving business continuity, and Telenor's country-specific AI Factory in Norway as examples of how telcos are leveraging their decades of in-country infrastructure experience to offer sovereign cloud services as a new revenue stream. The discussion turns to Telstra's closed-loop automation initiative, where AI outputs feed directly into Ansible-driven remediation workflows on OpenShift — enabling networks to monitor, predict and self-heal without human intervention. From balancing the cost of running AI against the operational savings it generates to placing the right workload in the right location across an increasingly distributed edge, Heeran provides a practical framework for telco CTOs navigating the shift toward autonomous, software-defined networks.
