Building the Next Network is Too Risky
TOO MUCH
Spending averaged 159% of budget
TOO LATE
Projects took 174% longer than promised
TOO UNCERTAIN
61% of IT projects did not succeed

Where is the Business Model Transformation?
• Build it and they will (come/stay?) – CAPEX required• Maintain large operations and engineering team – fixed OPEX• Extensive and disruptive rebuild process• Management and support nightmare• Repeat again in 5 years
• Voice is becoming a commoditized feature on next gen networks – it makes sense to deliver it in the least expensive and lowest risk manner possible

Even Virtualized It’s Still a Monster
IMS Virtualization

Leverage the Cloud

The World Has Turned to the Cloud
>$600 Billion will be spent on cloud services

Now Service Providers Can Leverage The Cloud for Voice Service Delivery
Cloud Voice Platform is Hosted NFV
• NFV is core technology, but only a starting point
• Hosted NFV‐ Elastic technology benefits ‐ More elegant management,
single vendor for support ‐ Success-based SaaS business
model
• Cloud provides NFV Benefits without CAPEX

NFV In The Cloud
• It makes sense for cloud operators to embrace NFV
• How has Alianza embraced NFV today?‐ Agile development‐ Virtualize everything‐ Servers – OpenStack‐ Storage – OpenStack & Ceph‐ Network – Load balancers
‐ End-to-End orchestration and automation‐ Improved monitoring and reporting‐ Continuous delivery of features and platform updates
• Where are we going with NFV tomorrow?‐ Virtualize everything else‐ SBC‐ Network – Commodity network gear and SDN‐ SoftSwitch – Virtualize all functions‐ IMS Functions
‐ End-to-end elasticity, push-button provisioning
