Creating Agility & Efficiency at Scale: The Economic Advantage of Open Architecture Platforms in NFV Deployments
Analysis of alternative platform designs in a Tier 1 installation highlights simpler, more agile design with an estimated five-year TCO of 53% and 3x faster activation of new service offerings than more tightly bundled alternative
Paul Parker-Johnson recently completed a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) study, underwritten by Big SwitchNetworks, Dell EMC, F5, and Red Hat, examining a prominent Tier 1 operator that launched its broad thttp://www.bigswitch.com/ransition to NFV using an open, modular, best-of-breed design that broadly uses open APIs and software-driven processes at many layers of operation. Compared to a tightly bundled approach, the results show:
• Cumulative TCO of the open architecture platform over five years estimated to be 53% lower
• The open architecture platform is 3x faster, on average, in deploying new service offerings
