Forget the Layers: NFV Is About Dynamism
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes1,160 views
The document discusses the concept of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and emphasizes its dynamism, moving from static appliances to virtual network functions (VNFs) hosted on any open hardware. It identifies key questions regarding dynamic orchestration, deployment scenarios, and the cloud's role in NFV, advocating for open architectures and compatible partners to foster success. Various examples, including the use of VNFs for BGP and virtual CPE, illustrate how NFV can create new revenue opportunities for service providers.

- 8. © 2016 ADVA Optical Networking. All rights reserved. 8 The Right Questions • How can we can dynamically orchestrate NFV- based services to provide new revenue? • How can they deploy on both greenfield and brownfield scenarios? • How can we use the cloud to dynamically deliver the cloud?
