• Current Branch infrastructure often contains physical appliances that complicate architecture • Rack and stack of routers and networking appliances
• Costly to operate • Upgrades / service extensions often require branch visits to install / swap equipment
• Difficult to manage • Management of different (multi-vendor) software images

• Enterprise Branch Virtualization aims to reduce the operational complexity of running networking functions in the branch
• Concept: run VIRTUALIZED network functions on standard x-86 servers in the branch • Leverage virtualization technology proven in the data center / cloud
• Enable automation and operational simplification by leveraging SDN
Why Virtualization of Branch Functions

Impact of Network Functions Virtualization in the branch
• Reduce service capability in branch
• Services run virtualized in the data center
• Works well with network based VPN solution
• Service capability remains in the branch
• Services run virtualized in branch
• Works well with overlay based VPNs
