1. SP Opportunities
(i) Efficient & Flexible Network Architecture
(a) Virtualize Network Functions
Static Dynamic Elastic Programmable
Existing Hardware / Appliance based Network Functions (NFs)
Decouple software from underlying hard ware and port it as a VM on x86 platform
running as a Network Function
NAT VM Firewall VM SBC VM dDOS VM Virus Scan VM IPS VM DPI VM CGN VM Portal VM PCRF VM DNS VM DHCP VM BRAS VM SDN C ontrol VM RaaS VM WLC VM WAAS VM CDN VM Caching VM NMS VM NFs running as VM on x86 Platform
• Decouple from Physical Appliances that are inefficient to scale with SP’s business • Do More with Less Infrastructure
• Elastic use of Pooled Resources
(a) Virtualize Network Functions
(b) Optimized Planning through Predictive Traffic Analysis

Architecture Operations
Planning
• Growth Forecasts • Upgrade Analysis • New Service Impact
• SLA planning
• Failure Analysis • Balancing Traffic • Topology Design
• RSVP, QoS, Multicast Design
• Network Health
and Traffic Trends
• Maintenance Planning
• Troubleshooting
Network unaware workload placement requires 30-35% more bandwidth provisioned than with network aware workload placement
