Why Clouds were a big business success:
Reduction of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

 Reduction of Capital Expenditure (CAPEX)……………………………………….

 Reduction of Operational Expenditure (OPEX)………………………………….

New Business Opportunities………………………………………………………………….
 New un-solved problem/un-addressed need

Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
… Clouds for the Telecom industry
10
Intro to Network Function Virtualization
e.g. typical enterprise network
Internet
Examples of ‘Network Functions’:
 Routers
 Firewalls
Firewall 1 Firewall 2 TOR
 Network Address Translators (NAT)
NAT/Proxy Server
 Proxies (e.g. HTTP, SIP,…) Servers

Conclusions
2 Technologies have changed drastically the telecom industry

 Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
 Software Defined Networks (SDN)
… and they will keep on doing this the next 10 years
Technology in this domain is evolving extremely fast

Hot technologies of today didn’t even exist 3 years ago…
