Challenges and Threats The Need for Transformation

The CSP Wall of Pain


● All network functions will transition to run on x86 platforms

● Open controllers will rule the world

● Service Providers will save and make tons of $$

HYPE● Networking vendors are slow to join the revolution

● The business case is more complex than we thought

● Virtualization by itself is not enough Ea

● A new approach is needed

REALITY

2013- SDN & NFV

“At the Peak”

2015 -SDN & NFV

“Sliding into the Trough”

NFV - From Hype To Reality…


Openness

APIs, Standards, Extensibility, Ecosystems

Turn-key

Equates to Vendor Lock-in

Agility

Service Centric

NFV - Slope of Enlightenment

“…if operators wait for a "clear, guaranteed, cookie-cutter solution" they will find themselves back in the "old world of long cycle times and vendor lock-in." - Sorabh Saxena, AT&T

“A key strategic guideline in Vodafone Ocean is that interfaces with all new products and services should be open” – David Amzallag, Vodafone

“We have fairly long lead times and the Internet companies are using software-based production and have short market lead times and can take products off the market very quickly," - Axel Clauberg, DT


NFV ... By the Numbers


...We think that most companies will either be deploying or working with SD-WAN in 2017

SD-WAN Comes of age

Open source being driven by initiatives like OpenDaylight and OPNFV focused heavily around

telecom (carriers) and cloud service providers.

Open source expands its footprint

For open networking to truly be as effective and flexible as these businesses demand, orchestration

needs to be put in place for the network to truly “move” with the needs of the business

Orchestration is the next collision point

Continued margin degradation in the network switching business as more functionality moves to software,

leaving hardware less differentiated. Additionally, the market disruption and changing landscape will

accelerate

Numbers will matter

Cloudify Open vCPE Business Drivers


vCPE and SD-WAN Market Drive

“SD-WAN and vCPE have emerged as the leading use

cases in the SDN and network functions virtualization (NFV)

Markets”

$300 billion industry, SPs are interested in many different

kinds of applications and business services they could sell to customers once a WAN link is

established


vCPE - Where is the money ?

CPE - being commoditized, low cost (x86) and white box available options

VNFs - the weakest and most expensive point of the solution, Next Gen / Open Source VNFs are being slowly adopted

Networks - new technologies allows for OTT delivery of services and newing pricing models

Telco Cloud - being optimized with Openstack and Container technologies


Open vCPE - Unlocking the Saving

VIRTUALIZATION

Mainly repackaging

DISRUPTION -

Changes in the architecture,

delivery model and

business model
