8. Business case for NFV
Declining ARPU OTT Age Agile Service Deployment
Average revenue per
user (ARPU) is under
increasing pressure
due to competition
and high user
acquisition cost
Voice, video,
messaging and other
enriched services are
now offered by the
Over-the-top
Applications
Newer service
deployment or
existing service
evolution is required
at much faster pace
and agility

10. Initial Phases of Network Evolution
The Network was the Service
OTT Players Introduced Messaging and VoIP
to Broadband Markets
LTE and Mobile Broadband
Extended these Services
to Mobile
11. Web 2.0 Phase of Network Evolution
MNO Innovation is Slow
LTE led to VoLTE which brought
IP and IMS to the Core
However Innovation is Occurring
Web 2.0
13. Benefits of NFV
Service rollouts and provisioning is faster as it’s software centric as
opposed to hardware
Revenue
Growth
Agile delivery allows for resources to be scaled-in and out to match the
consumer demand in real-time
Improved QoE
Operational task such as infrastructure layout, network rollouts, appliance
provisioning are all obviated and replaced with automation framework.
This results in reduced OPEX overtime.
Reduced Opex
Hardware resources are tied to service needs as opposed to vendors. This
allows for better resource utilization.
Reduced Capex
15. Evolutionary Stages in NFV
Independence
No special hardware
requirement
Network function works on
IA COTS Hardware
Virtualize
Manual Scaling to meet
network demand
Network function works on
hypervisor driven environment
to access virtualized
infrastructure. Limited
elasticity.
VNF
Dynamic elasticity, VM
migration
Network function aligns with
agile service creation
principles. Elasticity and life
cycle management under
control of MANO layer
Decompose
Granular control over
function – open APIs for
integration
Network function decomposed
to independently scalable micro-
elements with open interfaces
for integration with NFVI

18. Key Differentiators of Mavenir’s Solution
• Functional decomposition allows for independent scaling and management of functional components as
compared to monolith architecture.Microservices Architecture
• Virtual Network Functions are pre-packaged with interface and protocol aggregators allowing VNF to
integrate and offer elasticity in brown field networks.Encapsulate Elasticity
• Mavenir VNFs uses open interfaces such as NETCONF and REST to provisioning and management of
functions – enabling easy interoperabilityHighly Interoperable
• Mavenir VNFs are designed for machine and data separation – enabling faster recovery, higher
availability and quicker migrationStateless Framework
• Mavenir CloudRange can be package with NFVI, MANO, Applications and Assurance toolsEnd-to-end Offering
• Mavenir being early adopter of Intel® DPDK has product suite offering near line-rate performance.High Performance Data plane
• Microservices Architecture enables us to deliver modern DevOps platform with: Observability, Traffic,
Deployment and Runtime platformDevOps Platform
19. Mavenir NFV Scaling Architecture
• Optimized for fastest Life Cycle Management and Fault Containment
• Allows true VNF migration, across servers and data centers.
• Allows split architecture for Media and Control components SDN Ready
• Maximum OPEX savings
• Single VNFM for all Mavenir and Mavenir-partner VNF products
• One logical node with single address points:
• VNFM for Or-VNFM and Vi-VNFM
• CMS for OSS interfaces
• Loadbalancer for SIP, HTTP,
IMAP etc.
• Address aggregation for
Diameter, SS7, SMPP,
SMTP etc.
