14 Single vendor MSP platform Limited interworking needed Easy end-to-end management Proprietary options to fill gaps Offers most services today 2006 was too early for modular Missing standards to fuel concept Lacking right mix of component vendors 1G Node MSP Colt Core Network NNI Vendor A CPE only Vendor A EMS only Aggregation Vendor A only 14

26 Target Network and Platform Architecture How much of this is real? Incremental vs [color]field 26

27 Target Network and Platform Architecture How much of this is real? Incremental vs [color]field WAN DC Cloud Centric Network (Network Virtualization, Automation and Orchestration) Managed IT (Compute and Storage) Modular Carrier Ethernet (Multi-vendor Access and Transport) Network Layer Integration (Optical, Ethernet and IP WAN) OSS/BSS Ops Model Virtual CPE Ops Model OF enabled Next-Gen DC Fabric 27

28 So what s the future like? Ethernet is the de-facto access technology for WAN and DC LAN Monolithic MSP/CE solutions are going to be history soon: modular, multi-vendor (i.e. IP like) will be the new norm. As well as integrated networks Openness, APIs, programmability will prevail over hardware capabilities: need to re-invent OSS and introduce more network functions virtualizations Not just bandwidth/features will change in-life, also the service type Platform v2: managed IT solutions will include and abstract the network, compute&storage changes and multiple markets propositions New operating models for well established carriers and people 28
