SDN/NFV architecture vision and reality

1. SDN/NFV architecture vision … and reality Nicolas Fischbach Director Strategy, Architecture and Innovation 30 March 2016 – MPLS/SDN/NFV W orld Congress 2016 1

3. NOVITAS / Colt On Demand Vision Network services are self-provisioned, orchestrated and consumed in near real time through automation, and integrated with 3rd party networks Available through portal and APIs Near real-time Self- provision Interwork with other providers Reduce costs Elastic Bandwidth Elastic Topology Elastic Service 3rd party Networks Customer portal APIs SDN and NFV Infrastructure Customer sites Customer sites Reduce vendor dependency Support value added services Cloud Providers

5. SDN/NFV Architecture or Choreography stack ? 5 Domain orchestrator NOVITAS Engine Programmable Network + + = Customer Experience • Orchestration engine enabled us to start to decouple (self contained  partial integration  replace) • Augment existing, see what customers want & use, transform • DevOps + Agile + Waterfall “magic” / “Secret sauce”

6. SDN/NFV Architecture or Choreography stack ? 6 Domain orchestrator NOVITAS Engine Programmable Network + + = Customer Experience • SDN is very much “automation” • Need to address more fundamental OSS changes as well as MANO • How to best inject & consume OpenSource/COTS/home-dev • Industry and working groups consolidation

7. SDN/NFV Architecture or Choreography stack ? 7 Domain orchestrator NOVITAS Engine Programmable Network + + = Customer Experience • Incremental & augment: little greenfield outside the DC • MPLS here to stay and OTT to become more common • Teething issues: NFV (vCPE and SD-WAN/VPN), x86, WB • New IP Agency / Reference architecture
