1 SOLUTION BRIEF TRANSFORMING THE BUSINESS EDGE Revolutionary Business Edge Delivers Game-Changing Economics and Rapid Service Innovation Challenge Service providers need to monetize network assets, optimize cost and increase revenue and profit. Solution L2/L3 VPN, direct Internet access, virtual CPE, MEF2.0 compliant E-LINE, ELAN services network addressing portfolio, stateful firewall, IPsec, content caching and delivery Offers TDM to Ethernet/MPLS migration Established service solutions: Nextgeneration multicast VPNs, VPLS, IPv6 VPNs Innovative technology solutions: P2MP LSP, LDP-BGP VPLS interworking Edge Aggregation: Adopt to explosive growth in bandwidth with 10GE and 100GE to the edge and metro, facilitate DC consolidation Peering: Integrate inline network visibility services, offer L3 as well as L2 peering Benefits Drive rapid innovation through single network platform for ecosystem Add value by enabling service components via the network Consolidate subscribers and services onto single edge platform Reduce number of discrete network devices and locations Leverage common platform and provisioning model to deliver multiple services The edge is a strategic point in the network where service providers connect to their subscribers and apply services. The edge network has evolved to encompass various network types, including residential broadband, business edge and mobile broadband networks. Industry analysts suggest that IP traffic is expected to continue to grow strongly with mobile and fixed broadband and IP VPN traffic underlying that growth. It s predicted that consumer broadband and corporate data traffic continue to grow. IPTV and IP video traffic are expected to continue to accelerate traffic growth. Confluence of several of these demand drivers places unprecedented strains and requirements on today s networks. Service providers are pushing IP closer to the subscriber edge and looking to the latest generation of edge routers with capabilities for MPLS VPNs, deep packet inspection, and the ability to classify and police subscriber traffic. Service providers need to keep up with exponential traffic growth at a lower cost, while at the same time increasing revenue and achieving operational efficiency. Edge networks need to be made more efficient by converging services and network functionality, and evolving network architectures. Services for consumer and business, wireline and wireless need to be merged onto common IP infrastructures to reduce redundant network elements, improve traffic flow and reduce costs. Service providers need a revolutionary approach to address these growing demands through a transformational business edge solution. This demands a new network, one that offers superior economics and enables rather than constrains faster service innovation. Drivers of the business edge Demands New Breed of Solution Massive network growth and bandwidth demand Evolving customer needs Need for open and programmable network platform Demands New Economics Need for lower TCO Need for operational efficiency to contain OpEx Need for better monetization of network assets to increase revenue Demands Faster Service Innovation Deteriorating ARPU Need for business model innovation Need for differentiated service offering 1
