Network and Operations as Platforms for Innovation

▪ Our world is changing

New users, bringing new applications, with new expectations and new consumption models

▪ Connectivity services are not enough

Ethernet and IP are becoming commoditized

OTTs are disrupting the market with new high-value services

▪ Embrace change

Simplify and automate

Take control of your network and rapidly deploy new services

Accelerate innovation and agility

© 2017 TM Forum | 12

▪ Current Challenges in OSS

Massive proliferation of OSS exist as bespoke systems in carriers

OSS is fragile and siloed by service

Inventory is the center of OSS and is commonly outdated

Order management systems are commonly based on static Business Process Management and workflow tools, making them fragile

Business Process frameworks exist but are replicated and specialized per silo

Legacy systems prevail but there is no bridge to the promise of NFV/SDN

OSS marketplace is consolidated to players with vested interests in preserving the status quo

▪ Operators require an open, extensible platform for the complex service orchestration of networks, network-facing systems, and the related Operations Support Systems

Networks Can Only Evolve At the Pace of Operations

Orchestration Closes the Gap and Simplifies Operations

© 2017 TM Forum | 14

▪ Significant challenges exist in creating the agility desired

▪ Use orchestration to:

Deliver new services

Encapsulate current OSS

Decommission legacy OSS in a service-aware manner

▪ Key function migration to Multi-Domain-Orchestrated OSS

▪ Key function migration to Network Platform EMS/NFV Orchestration

▪ Initial focus on SDN//NFV and PNF (Legacy Broker)

▪ Domain

A “silo” of vendor equipment or networking technology that requires people, processes and tools to manage

▪ Multiple domain service

Service spanning WAN, mobile, NFV and/or cloud

Requiring coordination between domains

Domains may be managed by existing OSS

▪ Multi-domain service orchestration

End-to-end fulfillment and assurance

▪ Simplify and automate

A single unified view for consuming the network as a programmatic resource

Normalized integration of OSS/BSS, self-service portals and 3rd party applications

Resource Adapters and Service Templates


▪ General purpose orchestration (MDSO)

▪ Resource adapters (RAs)

Model and specify interface to devices, VNFs, NB interfaces to OSS, networks and other things

▪ Service templates (STs)

Combine diverse resources into services

Specify configuration, relationships, dependencies, sequencing of resources

▪ Re-usable building blocks

ST may be a resource to another service

▪ Portfolio of XaaS

VPN+ Security + AWS = compute-aaS

VPN+ Security + Azure = applications-aaS

VPN+ Security + Rackspace = hosting-aaS

IP VPN + vFW XaaSST

Benefits of Orchestration

▪ Leverage service automation

Increase speed and agility

▪ Facilitate change

Transition from physical to virtual

Upgrade infrastructure without affecting nbinterface to OSS/BSS, portals, etc.

▪ Build a rich service portfolio

Connectivity, cloud, virtualization

▪

▪ DevOps tools and resources minimize the requirement for

professional services and reduce vendor lock-in

▪ IT and Network teams collaborate to accelerate service

development:

On-boarding new network resources (developing RAs)

Customizing services (create and modify templates)

Template-driven toolset drives the benefits of software

development deeper into the business

Summary – Solving the Tower of Hanoi

▪ The industry needs radical transformation

More agility

More services and more tailored to the digital experience

Radically lower OPEX

More capacity, higher density, lower cost/bit

▪ Our algorithm and approach: Focus on the bottom layers to achieve SDN/NFV’s promise

1. Encapsulate control of legacy OSS for transport

2. Consolidate Layer 0/1/2 networks via extreme automation

3. Iterate to the final state of a converged, automated, packet optical core

Eliminating Time, Process & OPEX
