NFV and the Cloud – The Edge Migration

Addressing the integration challenge

• A key challenge is making SDN-NFV work together

• Harmonization is key to commercialization

• Creation of a common architectural template is crucial

• Central Office Re-architected as a Data Center (CORD) accomplishes this – ties together SDN, NFV, and Open-Source white-box switching for mobile, fixed/cable and enterprises
