3 The evolution of useful things The Evolution of Useful Things Published in 1992 Vintage Books, Random House, New York ISBN The form of made things is always subject to change in response to their real or perceived shortcomings, their failures to function properly ( ) there can be no such thing as perfected artifact There is an ongoing evolution of new needs created by the developers of new designs ( ) that require new tools for assembly and disassembly, and these new tools in turn enable still further new designs Henry Petroski is an engineer specializing in failure analysis and professor both of civil engineering and history at Duke University. Ill served by an advisor who looks too narrowly at technical indicators to prognosticate performance in the marketplace Focusing too closely on the immediate design problem ( ) frequently results in solutions that themselves give rise to more difficult design problems Every technological change has the potential for being both cursed and praised 3 COPYRIGHT 2015 ALCATEL-LUCENT.

6 Present Mode of Operations (PMO) challenges Cause Effect correlation High lead times for new system and/or service introduction estimated in months and years where technology silos prevail Compromised time to market, lengthy ordering to activation process, difficult to measure end users QoE Complex overall Method of Procedure given hardware specifics and planning processes. Challenging end-to-end operations Low server to administrator ratio in environments comprised of largely physical elements, tightly integrated software and hardware under multiple management systems Overlong capacity planning does not favor agile reconfiguration of services and components to meet demand curves Costly environment which cannot dynamically apply big data subjected to real-time changes; underutilized assets and budgets consumed by maintenance High human latency due to number of manual deployment, maintenance and upgrade process, communications, forms, also impacted by network and IT disconnects Leading Lagging indicators Taxing end-to-end management under separate fulfilment and assurance for core, access, IMs, with service upgrades often susceptible to failures LT: Lead Time MOP: Method of Procedure S/A: Server to Administrator Ratio HL: Human Latency Feedback loop CoD: Capacity on Demand TTM: Time to Market QoE: Quality of Experience 6 COPYRIGHT 2015 ALCATEL-LUCENT.

7 Is Network softwarization the answer? Translating IT virtualization concept to Telecom Network Functions Virtualization (NFV): I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject rather does the person grow to look like his portrait. - software (SW) is decoupled from hardware (HW) - telecom systems (IMS, EPC, RAN) become software instances - virtual network functions (VNF) run on virtual machines (VM) - VNFs are decomposed and modularized suited for N+K redundancy - shared infrastructure based on general purpose, high volume COTS HW - enables application multi-tenancy and distributed architectures - automation optimizes lifecycle management and resource orchestration Salvador Dalí Software Defined Networking (SDN): - control (traffic decisions) decoupled from data plane (traffic forwarding) - programmable and automated networking - centralized global network view and intelligence - controller sends packet handling rules to the switch 7 COPYRIGHT 2015 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
8 ETSI NFV reference architecture NFV management and orchestration NFV Orchestrator (NFVO) - Multi-VIM management - VNF placement - VNF policy enforcement VNF Manager (VNFM) - VNF deployment - VM level monitoring (CPU/storage) Virtual Infrastructure Manager (VIM) - Virtual resource management at hypervisor level COPYRIGHT 2015 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
9 The journey: Early virtualization PMO Purpose built HW/ASICs Tight coupling between HW and SW Monolithic apps with specific HW configurations Scales by adding more HW Rigid service creation 1-to-1 app to purpose built HW ratio Apps run on VMs Multiple applications run on generic hardware Apps in the component form consuming one or more VMs Apps can scale by adding more VMs Various component level scaling is possible 9 COPYRIGHT 2015 ALCATEL-LUCENT.

10 The journey: FMO Single pane of glass Lifecycle management Resource orchestration Analytics IaaS Infrastructure as a Service PaaS Platform as a Service Service level orchestration Common infrastructure management Solution templates Fulfilment and assurance Resource orchestration Key performance indicators Predictive analytics Application multi-tenancy Selective lifecycle automation End-to-end automation Distributed architectures Autonomics, self-organizing 10 COPYRIGHT 2015 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
11 ETSI NFV use case #5: vepc and vims Mobile networks are populated with a large variety of proprietary hardware appliances [ ] leverage standard IT virtualization technologies to consolidate different types of network equipment located in NFVI-PoPs. Virtualization target: Mobile core network functions: EPC core and adjunct network functions, e.g. MME, S/P-GW, PCRF, etc. 3G/EPC interworking network functions, e.g. SGSN, GGSN, etc. All IMS network functions, e.g. P/S/I=CSCF, MGCF, AS. Flexible allocation of Network Functions on such hardware resource pool could highly improve network usage efficiently in day-to-day network operation. Higher service availability and resiliency provided to end users/customers by dynamic network reconfiguration. Elasticity: capacity dedicated to each Network Function can be dynamically modified according to actual load on the network, thus increasing scalability. Topology reconfiguration: Network topology can be dynamically reconfigured to optimize performances. Creation of a competitive environment where innovative implementations of third-party network applications can be supplied by unlocking the proprietary boundaries of current Mobile Core and IMS implementations. Designing newer resiliency schemes becomes possible by utilizing the portability of the VNF instances in the form of, but not limited to VM relocation, replication, etc [ ] the relocation of the managed sessions and/or connections needs to be handled appropriately to achieve operator desired service continuity and service availability. Coexistence of virtualized and non-virtualized network functions. 11 COPYRIGHT 2015 ALCATEL-LUCENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
