From Capex to Opex Considerations q Service agility, operational cost and faster time to market benefits outweigh TCO zeroing over time as the software opex may catch-up with the initial capex savings q CSPs can sustain lower costs with a virtualized network q Analysys Mason predicts an inflection point where CSPs can further curb costs, achieved within the next 5 -7 years. q CSPs must have an overarching service agility framework for augmenting their existing network with VNFs and increasing OSS automation • Illustrative comparison of cumulative costs of various approaches to network virtualization [Source: Analysys Mason, 2014] Copyright © 2014, Oracle and/or its affiliates.
