Outline Distributed NFV Approach Proposed D-NFV Solution Benefits and Use Cases ETSI Multi-Vendor D-NFV PoC D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide2
Distributed-NFV (D-NFV) Approach VNFs wherever it makes the most functional and economical sense, including at the customer edge Customer premises Data center Network nodes D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide3
Why NFV at The Customer Edge? Feasibility Some functions MUST run at the customer premises, e.g., end-to-end encryption and WAN optimization Performance Some applications are more effective at the customer premises e.g., end-to-end QoS Economics Tradeoff between network and IT costs Policy Dictated by regulations and policies D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide4

D-NFV: A Stepping Stone to NFV Phase I Customer Edge NFV (Distributed NFV) Initial Deployment Center-less solution, minimum upfront investment and risk while benefiting from fast service introduction Phase II Full-Blown NFV Full-Scale Deployment VNFs at the edge, network nodes and data center as justified, benefit from a shared IT resource pool D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide10
D-NFV Solution s Main Benefits INCREASE REVENUES REDUCE TCO Fast introduction of new services Fast response to competition Encourage service adoption with Try-n-buy Improve quality of experience reduce churn No truck rolls for service introduction and upgrades Reduced customer site equipment footprint, less power consumption, better MTBF Waiving upfront network and data center investments lower risks D-NFV Presentation 2014 Slide11
