But with some Chinese vendors effectively barred from the U.S. market, and lingering questions about potential restrictions in other markets, CSPs now have limited options when it comes to working with full-service incumbents. Given the move to virtualization and some of its permutations (white box, for instance), this isn t as big a problem as it may have been in the past. But do all CSPs really prefer an environment without trusted and trustable partners?
