Business Challenges for Service Providers

Source : MEF LSO Survey (Mar 2015)

To MH: Could you cover or spin something around the MEF LSO Report? Please check notes.

• Launch new offerings

• Enable customers to provision

and manage service

• Multi-vendor interoperability

• Tighter integration of IT

• Centralized management of

multi-vendor platforms

Conclusions: BoD Video Service PoC Demo• Assurance is critical for orchestrated, dynamic services - use virtualized active

testing and monitoring for NFV/SDN service assurance. • On-demand services require unified network and service management across

multi-domain, multi-vendor network.• NIDs supports dynamic, on-demand provisioning and activation, fault

management and recovery, and real-time performance monitoring in the orchestrated environment.

• Network dis-aggregation and abstraction with SDN will be the key drivers for hyper-scale and converged data centers.
