Developing a network reference architecture1. Start from service requirements and leverage standardization Design should be driven by today’s and tomorrow’s service requirements. Standardization limits technical and operational complexity and related costs2. Develop a reference model based on principles Principles enable consistent choice in long term run3. Create your building blocks library Streamline your capability to execute and operational effectiveness4. Unleash capabilities provided by enabling technologies Converged infrastructure, converged management, FlexNetwork, ...5. Rely on proven methodologies, models and capability to execute Standardized, global scale experiences and consolidated methodology – see HP network transformation experience workshop17 © Copyright 2012 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
