Service agility, operational cost and faster time to market benefits outweigh TCO zeroing over time as the software opex may catch-up with the initial capex savings

CSPs can sustain lower costs with a virtualized network

Analysys Mason predicts an inflection point where CSPs can further curb costs, achieved within the next 5-7 years.

CSPs must have an overarching service agility framework for augmenting their existing network with VNFs and increasing OSS automation

The Pragmatic Reality of Hybrid Networks

• We will see Hybrid networks as prevalent in the many years to come…

…bringing together end-to-end networks comprised of traditional physical networks, Virtual Network Functions hosted in data centers, and OpenFlow-enabled devices in the Cloud and in the WAN
