Driving Additional Value into Managed Services

What’s The True Value
of Managed Services?
Managed services leave time-consuming
tasks like systems management, data
backup and storage, and network security
to service providers.

An NTT NFV and SDN Survey
NTT conducted a survey on the benefits of adopting NFV &
SDN. 100 information and communications technology (ICT)
experts were surveyed. The results were as follows:

• Only 21% of respondents are

familiar with these solutions.
• One-third are somewhat
familiar.
• 13% have already deployed
SDN and NFV successfully.
• 45% are piloting or have
already started investigation.

Now’s the time to start the conversation.

Why NTT?
• One of the first telcos to launch NFV-&-SDN-
enabled services globally.
• Platform is active in 50 locations worldwide.
• Functions can be accessed from over 190
countries and regions where NTT’s IP-VPN service
is available.
• Focus on innovation, quality, and sustainability.
• No compute and storage scalability limitations.
• Support in 18 languages.
• World-class SLAs.
