What We Found

Significant Design + Architecture Differences1. Significant VIM <-> NFVI integration

2. Unified P+V network fabric

3. Freedom to innovate on either side of platform interfaces

4. Substantial workflow-oriented automation

And pervasive software integration between

elements and layers

Profound Economic Advantages for the Open

Architecture Platform vs. the Tightly Bundled

Alternative• 5 Yr. Cumulative TCO 53% of TBP

• Overall Capex 47% less than TBP

• Overall Opex 57% of TBP

• New Service Creation Agility 3x Faster & 3x Less Costly

than TBP
