    Summary

    Geneva, Switzerland, 4 June 2013 2


    Trends and Challenges

    Trends Challenges
    Huge capital investment to deal
    Mobility, explosion of devices and
    with current trends
    traffic
    Network operators face an
    Emergence of cloud services
    increasing disparity between costs
    High performance industry
    and revenues
    standard servers shipped in very
    Complexity: large and increasing
    high volume
    variety of proprietary hardware
    Convergence of computing,
    appliances in operator’s network
    storage and networks
    Reduced hardware lifecycles
    New virtualization technologies
    Lack of flexibility and agility:
    that abstract underlying hardware
    cannot move network resources
    yielding elasticity, scalability and
    where & when needed
    automation
    Launching new services is difficult
    Software-defined networking
    and takes too long. Often requires
    techniques emerging
    yet another proprietary box which
    needs to be integrated into
    Geneva, Switzerland, 4 June 2013 existing systems 3
    Network Functions Virtualization

    Network Functions Virtualisation is about implementing network functions


    in software - that run today on proprietary hardware - leveraging (high
    volume) standard servers and IT virtualization
    Supports multi-versioning and multi-tenancy of network functions
    Allows use of a single physical platform for different applications, users
    and tenants
    Enables new ways to implement resilience, service assurance, test &
    diagnostics and security surveillance
    Facilitates innovation towards new network functions and services that are
    only practical in a pure software network environment
    Applicable to any data plane and control plane functions, (fixed or mobile
    networks)
    Automation of management and configuration of functions important for
    NFV to scale
    NFV aims to ultimately transform the way network operators architect and
    operate their networks – though change will be incremental

    Network Nodes
    High volume standard storage
    • Fragmented, purpose-built hardware.
    • Physical install per appliance per site.
    • Hardware development large barrier to entry for
    new vendors, constraining innovation &
    competition. High volume Ethernet switches
    Geneva, Switzerland, 4 June 2013 5
    Benefits of NFV

    Flexibility to easily, rapidly dynamically provision and instantiate new


    services in various locations (i.e. no need for new equipment install)
    Reduced time-to-market by minimizing the typical network operator cycle
    of innovation. More service differentiation & customization
    Improved operational efficiency by taking advantage of the higher
    uniformity of the physical network platform and its homogeneity to other
    support platforms
    Reduced equipment costs through equipment consolidation on high volume
    industry standard servers leveraging the economies of scale of the IT
    industry
    Reduced operational costs: reduced power, reduced space, improved
    network monitoring
    Software-oriented innovation (including Open Source) to rapidly prototype
    and test new services and generate new revenue streams
    IT-oriented skillset and talent (readily available in global geography,
    flexible)
    Geneva, Switzerland, 4 June 2013 6
    Strategic Networking Paradigms & SDN

    Creates Creates network


    competitive Software abstractions to
    supply of Open allow application-
    innovative Defined
    Innovation aware behaviour,
    applications by Networking and increased
    third parties flexibility

    Network
    Functions Leads to agility,
    Virtualisation Reduces CAPEX,
    OPEX,

    NFV and SDN are highly complementary, they are mutually beneficial but not
    dependent on each other (NFV can be deployed without SDN and vice-versa)
    SDN can enhance NFV performance, simplify compatibility, facilitate
    operations
    NFV aligns closely with SDN objectives to use software, virtualization and IT
    orchestration and management techniques

    NFV Architectural Model

    Geneva, Switzerland, 4 June 2013 12


    Key Take Away

    Network operators have proven NFV feasibility via proof of concept test
    platforms
    Network operators and vendors have identified numerous “fields of
    application” spanning all domains (fixed and mobile network
    infrastructures)
    Significant CAPEX/OPEX benefits, leveraging also the economies of scale
    Emerging virtual network appliance market
    Novel ways to architect and operate networks, spawning a new wave of
    industry wide innovation
    Network Functions Virtualization can dramatically change the telecom
    landscape and industry over the next 2-5 years
    NFV ISG formed under ETSI (Nov. 2012), led by network operators with
    wide industry participation
    Next NFV meeting: July 24-26, Bonn, Germany
