NFV Framework

NFV Revolutionizes the Data Center

NFV is based on the same network topology as exists

today

NFV changes the cost equation for building next

generation networks

Standards Driven Technology creates multi-vendor, open

ecosystem

NFV leverages virtualization technology proven in the IT

Planning: Cost Implications• Increasing Costs:

• NFV deployments may need extra certification and SLA verification before being ready for commercial operations

• Introduction of the basic underlying NFVO, NFVI and Virtual Infrastructure Management

• Reducing Costs:

• Cloud in a box versus component or node based purchasing can create new options: IMS on a box

• Transformation of the network infrastructure and business models

Triggers for NFV Planning• Growing 4G areas to consider:

• EPC expansion

• IMS/VoLTE introductions

• New Mobile Enterprise Services

• IP Provider Edge Services

• Introduction or expansion in M2M Network and Services

• Interoperability of the NFV and legacy elements is not expected to be a significant impact

• 3GPP interfaces remain untouched

Introduction of the Orchestrator• Level 1

• Virtualization Manually Deployed

• Level 2

• Automation: Deploy, Monitor, API

• Level 3

• Scaling: Auto-scaling, KPI’s, self-healing

• Level 4

• Full Cycle Management: Upgrade, patches, operations

Applications evolving from virtualization to cloud ready
