2 Content Introduction to NFV Introduction to MEC A few snippets of Huawei s Efforts! Open Standards, Open APIs, Open Source & Interoperability! 2

3 NFV Network Function Virtualization Virtualize network services/applications that once ran on dedicated hardware appliances! NFV ISG Vision Leverage standard IT virtualization technology to consolidate many network equipment types onto industry standard high volume servers, switches, and storage NFV Benefits Cost efficiency, Service Agility NFV Challenges a new network management and orchestration model, legacy devices, security, NFV implementation issues, standards & interoperability 3

4 To realize this vision Virtualized network appliances should provide high performance while being portable between servers (& hypervisors) while providing a more predictable/manageable environment! VNF Providers Realistic performance estimates for different setups Hardware (& Hypervisor) Providers Automated network operations Network Operators Requirements for network functions Uniform provision and management 4

5 MEC Multi access Edge Computing MEC offers application developers and content providers cloud computing capabilities and an IT service environment at the edge of the network. This environment is characterized by ultra low latency and high bandwidth as well as real time access to radio network information that can be leveraged by applications. MEC provides a new ecosystem and value chain. Operators can open their Radio Access Network (RAN) edge to authorized third parties allowing them to flexibly and rapidly deploy innovative applications and services towards mobile subscribers, enterprises and vertical segments. 5

6 Strategy behind MEC Evolve mobile base station Convergence of IT & telecommunications A new business vertical services for consumers/enterprises! Enable application and services to be hosted on top of mobile network! Caching Local Content Video Analytics Use Cases AR Location Services IoT 6

9 Open Standards, Open APIs, Open Source! An open standard is a standard that is publicly available, and has been designed via an open process. created by domain experts be easy to access and adopt allowed anyone affected by the standard to contribute Standards API Opensource Open Source MANO is an ETSIhosted project to develop an Open Source MANO software stack aligned with ETSI NFV. OPNFV ONAP Cloudify A publicly available interface that provides developers with programmatic access to a software application or web service. Ex open API can help networks become more open, programmable, and applicationaware to create a dynamic feedback loop. 9

10 Interoperability Reduce adoption risks for end users Decrease testing costs by verifying hardware and software platform interfaces and components Enhance interoperability! Plugfest NFV ITI New IP Agency (NIA) European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC) Participate & Contribute! 10
