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
