Agenda Service Provider Challenges and Opportunities Technologies That Enable Business Transformation Cisco Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Solution for the Cisco Evolved Services Platform Use Cases Summary 2
The New Era of Telecommunications Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) for Increased Monetization, Enhanced Agility, and Reduced Costs 3
Market Demands Bring Service Provider Opportunities Enterprise! Moving investment from IT to core business! Consumerization of IT: New business models! Looking to use cloud models Consumer! Anywhere, anytime personalized services through clouds! Increased expectations for consistent experiences Barriers to innovation! Network rigidity slows speed! Soaring integration costs! Complexity hinders new self-serve models BSS OSS BSS OSS BSS OSS Integration costs Video Silos, Manual Intervention, and Vendor Limitations Hamper Cloud Service Delivery Integration costs INTEGRATION COSTS Wireline Integration costs INTEGRATION COSTS Mobile 4

Virtualized Managed Services Business Benefits Impact of Virtualization Reduction in device complexity and device count Zero-touch configuration and maintenance Faster time to market (TTM) Shift to open platforms New service opportunities Business Benefit Lower CapEx as a result of reduced device complexity and reduced device count Lower OpEx because operators have fewer devices to manage, and significant reduction in number of service calls needed to install, upgrade, or fix Reduced cost, complexity, and risk of testing and introducing new services; no infrastructure upgrade CapEx needed each time a new service is added Wider choice of suppliers keeps hardware and software costs down and improves choice of services that can be offered to end customers Opportunities for new service design and revenue generation 14
Evolution of Next-Generation Business Services Virtualization: Example of New Revenue Levers Lever 1: Expand Customer Base Lever 2: Capture New Market Lever 3: Reduce Actual Churn Lever 4: Increase ARPU! Faster TTM enables SP to use resources more efficiently! SP can reach out and close more deals with existing resources Expanding Customer Base! Small and medium enterprises (SME) need different value proposition and GTM than large enterprises Current Market! Cloud and NFV improve service experience! Less downtime, faster problem resolution, etc.! Happy customers are less likely to churn! Services are delivered and managed centrally! Easier to order new services and to crosssell (self-provisioning portal) New Market CPE Churn vms Churn Layering New Services Existing Managed Service Customer Base New vms Customers Enterprise Market Segment + SME Market 15

Cisco Quantum Virtualized Packet Core (QvPC) With the launch of the Quantum Virtualized Packet Core (vpc), Cisco has the most complete virtual EPC portfolio and one of the most mature product offers on the market. The company will offer limited availability of virtual EPC in first half of 2014, with a view to general availability later in the year this timeline, if it holds, puts Cisco six to nine months ahead of its major EPC competitors. Reading Gabriel Brown - Senior Analyst, Heavy MWC Press Release Cisco was the only vendor to flawlessly demo a virtualized packet core solution in CMCC R&D Executive China Mobile (CMCC) Live Demonstration in booth Independently validated feature parity between ASR 5000 series & Quantum vpc Validated 43 % 5- year TCO savings for Cisco QvPC Virtual PGW/SGW/MME supported live VoLTE demo in CMCC booth at MWC Best Mobile Infrastructure 2014 Finalist (GSMA) 17
