Dell EMC Approach to NFV Operationalization WILL IT WORK? Largely categorized as a testing viability and validating that moving physical workloads to a virtual environment is viable Standards body & working groups created HOW DOES IT SCALE? Largely focused on classifying, categorizing, and optimizing VNFs across a range of parameters (compute, memory, storage). Rise of DPDK, Intel as industry consultant WHAT ARE THE ECONOMICS? Specific focus on understanding economic viability and developing initial set of viable use-cases vIMS; vEPC; vCPE/SD-WAN Current Industry Focus HOW IS IT OPERATIONALIZED? Focus on operationalization of proprietary + open source + public/private + instrumentation + telemetry + assurance + automation Cloud Infrastructure Validated Systems Telemetry Solutions Assurance Solutions
