Why change?
CAN network SDN/NFV technology
really help?
Packaging
Scale
Operational
Complexity
Mobile, Video
& Core networks
are very complex
Services
Agility
Difficult to
launch
new services
and capabilities
Fault
Tolerance
Generally very
good
Fixed cost
Reduction
Hardware
depreciation
cycles longer
than useful life
Combined
control and
dataplane
challenge agility
Add complexity
for automation
& standard
operating
VNF deployment
flexibility allows for
accelerated innovation
& deployment
More value in
software
for better
utilization & scale
Separate control &
Forwarding for
better economics
Service Assurance &
FCAPS, more
challenging in cloud

SDN/NFV – Migration strategy
Virtualized
Network
Functions
 VNF selection based on optimal value
 Network data plane VNF present greater challenge
 Combining Network Functions for Virtual Network Capability
Orchestration
 NFV/SDN considerably different requirements than IT, MANO
 Stateful vs Stateless, Distributed vs Central, P2P vs Client/Server
 Range of performance requirements, interfaces
NFV
Infrastructure
 Key selection of Execution Environment, VM / Container, PaaS vs
IaaS,
 Performance requirements, manageability, DC Ecosystem, FCAPS
 Bare metal, versus integrated compute, storage, network security
Control,
Mgmt, DC
Networking
 Physical Network Function Orchestration and Network Environment
Management
 Service Assurance and Performance Management
 Division of control between VNF, Controller and Orchestrator
SDN Control
and
Networking
 Service Level Control and Management (Chaining)
 Automated Config and Management. Analytics based Automation
 Scaled Resource Control
