3 Business Challenge Compete with Cloud Providers and Mobile Network Operators Cloud providers have a different business model More agile - lower costs You need to: Increase flexibility and agility (services and schedules) Automate and simplify creation, testing, and activation Offer telco reliability with cloud efficiencies Have a new architecture that is also 5G ready and need to enter new markets faster, but without overbuilding the network 3

4 Support Requirements Without Overbuilding IoT: Conditions vary widely. Some require high controller activity and low user plane data consumption. Other IoT use cases are quite the opposite. Enterprise: Require customized, secured, private network services with activation and changes on their schedule. Mobile virtual network operator (MVNO): Require centralized control plane integration and distributed user plane connectivity and cost-effective wholesale model. Consumer: High performance, high scale, high reliability, and affordable. The answer is a distributed software-defined networking (SDN) architecture with automated virtualized services. Reduce costs and improve flexibility and agility while helping ensure ultra-high reliability 4

19 The Tale of Two Carriers Marscom is a new Spanish mobile provider but did not plan ahead when considering which services their network might be used to offer and chose separate packet core solu'ons from various vendors at each stage of growth for their business. Throughout the growth of their business, they too rolled out consumer, enterprise and machine- to- machine services. Earthcom is a progressive mobile provider entrant in the Spanish market and chose Cisco s s PlaSorm to support the mul'- year roll out of a well planned flexible network architecture capable of suppor'ng consumer, enterprise and machine- to- machine traffic at the most op'mal total cost- of- ownership.
