1. John Donovan from AT&T discussed how SDN and NFV would allow them to transform their infrastructure, making it more flexible, simple, and faster. This would reduce costs and enhance business efficiency. 2. AT&T is taking a similar approach to cloud computing by treating their network as a common infrastructure with an consumption-based model. They are collaborating with over 100 vendors on open network principles. 3. Amin Vahdat from Google discussed their experience with SDN and NFV at a large scale. This has allowed them to virtualize their entire network hardware and software for quality of service, latency, fault tolerance, and more. It also enables network function virtualization through programm

7. Domain 2.0 DODO
2014 Domain 1.5
S Control on existing platforms – extend utilizing
New Platform in 2015 - NO overlay network – distributed cloud
2015 4600 Data Centre
S microseconds of compromise that exist between middle and applications will be
overcome by the milliseconds they avoid by highly distributed, very fast fiber network
OSS
S APIs – Do Policy & Provisioning
Software
S Orchestrate in highly distributed network

8. Why running their services on
your network?
S Platform Extra
S move security into cloud
S system getter smarter as components get smarter through
communication
S Privacy & Liability Guidelines
S Clarify boundaries – syntactic data build capability without
touching the raw
S 3 new technologies – control plane role, library, routing system
for data object – abstract syntactic data– no compromising
customers

9. Radical reshaping entire white
area
S Early Road Map Items
S Excess part of network and core backbone = 2 highest requirement
and list amount of generated incremental benefit
S Data Centre – Latency tolerance (policy & authothenticy) = mobile core
S converging wireless and wire line in universal services IMS platform
S Network Access
S Wireless – more like R&C pooling – really virtualization
S Complex (3G, 4G, wifi, AWS, WCS…) load very fast
S Optimized backbone switches and routing

Network Corporation Team
CLOUD
S Infinite computer storage on demand
S Fundamentally easier operational model (not there yet – true
promise of the cloud – scale business)
S Much higher of time – 3or4 nines of availability for services
(multiplexing – leverage)
S State-of-the-art infrastructure services – DoS, Load Balancing,
Storage (can’t buy string out) – Offer these services = key to
success
S Programming models unavailable elsewhere – low lactency
programming, massive IOPS

Google Cloud Platform
CLOUD
S SDN control of entire hardware/software – QoS, Latency, fault
tolerance (Holistic Approach)
S Virtualize SDN with NFV (Non-standard Network functionality
per packet, can’t predict all the services, API for NFV = big
opportunity)
S Orchestrate & Manage: Network provisioning, High availability,
Balanced virtual infrastructure (Network, Storage & Compute in
right proportion for highest efficiency)
