SDN Capability Use Cases

Elastic Capacity Fast acquisition, expansion, and deployment of capacity, links, and routes.

Elastic Coverage

Quick build-out, turn-up, and expansion of POPs and Service Points.

Elastic Service Topologies Real-time Adaptive Service Topologies.

Elastic QoS Multiple and flexible Quality of Service with Real-Time adaptation.

Fast Service Velocity Accelerated Connectivity Service creation, development, and launch.

Low Touch Automation Intensive Network automation to attack OPEX and total cost of ownership.

SDN Driving Network Economies of Scale and Scope

• Multiple Virtual Tenant Creation ( Multi-

Tenancy, Virtualized DC )

• Quick and Easy Provisioning similar to

VM Provisioning

• Seamless Distributed DC, Cloud and

Network service

End-to-End Service Automation

• On demand, Dynamic Resource

Allocation via Automation

• Collaboration with Application through

the Northbound API

• Accelerate Time-to-Market for New

Functions / Services, escape from

vendor Roadmap

Rapid Service Innovation

• Reduce CAPEX and OPEX with

Commodity Hardware and Full

Automation

• Operation Improvement ( Zero Touch

Provisioning, Reduce Human Error)

• Use more OSS to reduce development
