SDN, NFV and CloudHow Telco's can take advantage

The “Consumption shift”

Cloud is changing the way technology is being consumed

From “order and wait”

To “instant gratification”

Consumer expectations are shifting

Multiple personas

Single user

On-demand personalized catalogue

Users are Mobile

Applications are Distributed

The “Connectivity Shift”

Traditional Networks don’t adapt

Operational models need to change

* Based on metro Centralized case with growth of Metros with DC at 20% per year and 60% Video/Web content migration to DC

Source: Bell Labs metro traffic growth story: An architecture impact study

Metro Traffic is growing faster then Backbone Traffic

•.

75% of metro traffic will remain in the metro by 2017

PROLIFERATION OF DATACENTERS IN THE METRO DRIVES AN INCREASE IN METRO TRAFFIC AND RESULTS IN MORE TRAFFIC BEING TERMINATED IN THE METRO VS GOING TO THE BACKBONE

To the Cloud

Enterprise Compute is virtualized

Many Enterprises are leveraging Cloud and Dynamic Operational practices (DevOps)

Lower CAPEX Lower OPEX Lower risk

…and they’re realizing significant benefits

How do Telecom Providers realize these same benefits?

By using many of the same tools

NFV to the rescue…

Network Functions Virtualization

A Dynamic Cloud built for Network Services

“Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is a network architecture … proposes using IT technologies to virtualize entire classes of network node functions…” NFV Enabled Cloud

But some things need to change…

This will introduce new Operational models and tools

There are currently many OSS silos

Failure to change will result in another silo

And the business opportunity will not be realized

Telecom teams need to work together

Learn from their IT counterparts

Embrace new methodologies

…And get to know a few new ecosystem partners

new services

• Find new

opportunities

in new

markets

• Significantly

improve the

experience

Alcatel-Lucent is Focused on leading the industry’s shift to cloud

But we’re just getting started
