Traditional Architectures Cannot Deliver a Sustainable Business Model.
The Problem: Traditional Network Architectures
• Enable Vendor Lock-In.
• Inefficient Use of Resources / Capital.
• Increase Operational Costs.
• Increase Deployment Timelines.
• Slow Time to Revenue.
• Prohibit Cost/Revenue Matching.

Maximizing Total Return on Investment with A Common Platform Approach.
The New ROI for Network Function Virtualization
• Eliminate Siloed Architectures.
• Decreasing Vendor Leverage.
• Increasing Operations Efficiency.
• Match Supply with Demand
• Service Agility & Time to Market.

Common Platform Benefits Magnify Across
Multiple Service Deployments
• Custom Stack TCO Tracks to
Requirements Growth
– Common Platform TCO Increases at
½ the Rate of Requirements
• 62% Lower TCO vs. Traditional
Appliance Approach
• 33% One-Year & >350% Five-Year
ROI for Phased Deployment
• Capacity tracks Demand to
maximize platform efficiency
• Common operational process and
procedure maximizes resource
productivity and agility

Decreasing Vendor Leverage
A Common Vendor Neutral Platform Can Help Decrease CapEx.
• Separate NFVI & VNF Vendors
• VNF Vendors Build to the Platform
• Operator Has Total Control
• Encourages Competition
• Easy Portability and Swap-Out
• Build Best in Breed Services

What is the NFV Architecture Framework?
• High-level functional architecture and design philosophy for
virtualised network functions and the underlying virtualisation
infrastructure
• Delineating the different constituents elements and outlining the
reference points between them. Main constituent elements known as
working domains are:
– Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVI)
– Virtualized Network Function (VNF)
– NFV Management and Orchestration (MANO)

• Service Innovation
• Common Multi-Vendor Platform
• Service Agility
• Common Multi-Vendor Platform
"The speed at which we have been able to
trial our unified cloud and onboard the VoLTE
service functions into our IT network has
exceeded our expectations. We did a joint
R&D project that took only two months to
complete, and we finalized the
development of our vIMS product that can
be deployed in a production, commodity
infrastructure, automatically in only 3.5
hours."

NFV Summary
• NFV aims to reduce OpEx through automation and scalability
provided by implementing network functions as virtual appliances
• NFV provides all the benefits of virtualization and cloud computing
including orchestration, scaling, automation, hardware independence
and high availability
• NFV requires standardization of reference points and interfaces to be
able to mix and match VNFs from different sources
• NFV increases the speed of Time to Market by minimising the typical
network operator cycle of innovation
• NFV can be done now. Many virtual functions have already be
implemented by carriers
