1 PEOPLE. PLATFORMS. PARTNERS. PEERING. Can the Network be the New Cloud. MARK DALEY DIRECTOR, DIGITAL STRATEGY EPSILON 1

2 According to Aryaka's 2017 State of the WAN report, 50% of WAN traffic is now in the cloud. The cloud era of networking has officially arrived, and engineers better get comfortable with the software. It's here to stay. 2

8 RECOGNISING THE NEED TO EVOLVE Consumerisation of communications service (including connectivity) Faster service levels - on demand layer 2 connectivity Layer 3 and 1 are next Peering Ecosystems are fast growing and developing needs new kinds of network Rapid convergence of ICT and Telecom impacting next-gen architecture Consolidation and efficiency Service integration Inter-regional connectivity demand PROGRAMMABLE BENEFITS SELF-SERVICE Intuitive apps and web-based platforms that provide access to infrastructure 24x7 INCREASED VISIBILITY Simple to maximize productivity and visibility with complete control over global service NEW AGILITY Gain access to high performance connectivity that can be shaped and adjusted to meet different business needs QUALITY Access global, distributed services and locations with consistent Quality-of-Service (QoS) and Experience (QoE) API-ENABLED Seamless integration into existing platforms and infrastructure ON-DEMAND Quickly serve new and changing needs of customers on-demand - that can be provisioned at the click of-a-button 8

9 RECOGNISING THE ROLE OF API S THE NEED FOR TELCO S TO EVOLVE The ability for APIs to enable systems to talk to each other is now extending the role and function of Orchestration and SDN. Partner and customer interaction Orchestrate over different technologies Ability to service thread Real-time sharing of data and information Making NFV work Solution component Delivering on business improvement objectives API-ENABLED 9
