NFV 1.0 NFV 2.0 What is next…

• No dedicated team

• No budget allocated in 2013

• Mainly CTO/Research driven

• No executive priority

• Maybe part of the NFV working groups

• Multiple NFV projects

• Small NFV teams, limited budget

• "RFI like” activities

• Considering Automation & Orchestration

• Platform and/or use case driven approach

• Defining a roadmap for NFV migration

• On top executive agendas

Experience matters - NFV PoC/Trial’s/Commercial Engagements

THE MARKET HAS HIGH EXPECTATIONS FROM NFV

Scalability, flexibility, & extensibility

High asset utilization

Continuous deployments & upgrades

Open competitive landscape

Innovative ecosystem

NFV integration services

OUR CUSTOMERS EXPECT OPEN SOURCE TO TAKE A MAJOR PART IN ACHIEVING THESE BENEFITS

Interoperability is key for an NFV platform requiring open APIs and common functionality, and standards processes are lagging open source

Most tier 1 Telco’s demand open solutions, and ask for open source and several push OPNFV

Pooling resources with other companies increases velocity and quality of the code
