Key Market Trend Observations Execution at the speed of software • Agility, Dev. Ops, NFV, SDN, new services platforms Changing customer behavior and new expectations • Everything on demand • New services with a press of a button Rapidly changing business models • Cloud services, virtualization, programmable networks • New ecosystems and value chains • OTT Co-opetition All of this requires successful, flexible automation. But complexity has destroyed many automation initiatives. © 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 5

The Journey to Production-Ready NFV • Every VNF has its own management stack? • Every VNF has a different provisioning process? • More moving parts and more complexity! • How do I operationalize multivendor NFV-based services? Expectation • Look, so many VNFs! • I can deploy them on demand! • I can manage most VNFs like I did my PNFs, easier transition? NFV Disillusionment • • NFV is cool new tech! VNFs are cheaper! No more vendor lock-in! Massive OPEX reduction! Enlightenment & Productivity These are now true. • Standard-based NFV orchestration that automate multi-vendor VNF deployment and LCM • Platform that can stitch together multiple VNFs to present a service • Onboard a VNF without writing code • Single platform to orchestrate VNF deployment across data center, branch and cloud Time © 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

What slowed down NFV? Standards Technology Skills • Immaturity standards such as ETSI NFV MANO • Need multi-vendor support • Understanding complexity of virtualized environments • Lacking standardscompliant products • Ability to manage both virtual and physical functions • Inter-operability of products • Complex resource management • Need software skills in engineering and ops • Insufficient monitoring and recovery © 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Conclusions: Current State of NFV • NFV, after some false starts, is finally taking off • Standards are maturing, interoperability is increasing • Automation is key, and automation solutions are available, e. g. Cisco Network Services Orchestrator • Look out for proof-points for • • • Standards compliance/interoperability/multi-vendor NFV in branch, data center and public cloud Virtual and physical automation Resource management Orchestrated assurance Recovery of both VNF and service configuration © 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates.
