The values of NFV for service providers and enterprises can still be achieved when... brooks7, 6/5/2018 11:39:01 AM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: We've realized a third of the savings. We need to get to a factor of ten rocket, I think that you are missing the notion a bit. He is talking about 30% savings over doing the service without NFV. For a telco, that is a bare minimum for adopting a new vendor. The big problem... rocket101, 6/4/2018 5:03:27 PM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: We've realized a third of the savings.

Gabriel Brown, 5/24/2018 6:47:03 AM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," Operations and TCO are very important in vendor selection, contract terms, and so on. No doubt operators are often more than a little over-optimistic at the start of, say, a 5-year contract. But it is very much is part of... Gabriel Brown, 5/24/2018 6:39:57 AM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," Operators that have invested and are operating NFV Cloud (and SDN) seem pretty positive. They are much less negative than those operators that want pre-packaged vendor solutions for less money. I wonder why. yarn, 5/23/2018 3:20:34 PM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," Cheaper to buy is often more expensive to operate, but how many operators actually bother to calculate or project cost of ownership of network purchases over the planned deployment life?

Gabriel Brown, 5/23/2018 12:14:17 PM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," You could argue that in some areas operators have already done well out of NFV by driving down hardware costs on appliances. It's not the operational transformation many want, but is a lot cheaper to buy, say, a classic... Gabriel Brown, 5/23/2018 12:04:43 PM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," Ultimately there aren't many shortcuts if you value quality and reliability. Good post yarn And this is reality for most (all?) operators And should things break down it's nice having a vendor you can hold responsible... mendyk, 5/23/2018 11:12:24 AM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," Vendors and industry experts oversold the economic benefits of NFV, no doubt. The focus on cost saving obscured the main strengths of virtualization, which involve significant improvements in agility, service support, time... yarn, 5/23/2018 10:57:42 AM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," Perhaps some of the NFV "business case" assumptions were wrong to begin with because network equipment vendors are typically subsidizing the OS software cost through the hardware sales. When hardware and software are sold... mendyk, 5/23/2018 9:39:50 AM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," So some telcos have the same mindset as their customers who want all kinds of services for little or no actual money. Kind of ironic. ASX4000, 5/23/2018 5:07:54 AM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: "I pay people like Red Hat all of a sudden for OpenStack," No, actually you pay for a service that somebody delivers to you because you aren't able to take care by yourself. If you don't like it, nothing easier than this. Get the people, get the knowledge and do it by yourself.... brooks7, 5/22/2018 5:47:09 PM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: Re: SaaS = good partner model I want to go back to how this succeeded in IT.

Kevin Mitchell, 5/22/2018 4:43:08 PM NFV Is Down but Not Out Re: SaaS = good partner model Success-based SaaS model or XaaS model aligns better with being a partner to a CSP.

Sigma Systems' Guide to Transformation

A CSP's digital transformation involves so much more than technology. Crucial – and often most challenging – is the cultural transformation that goes along with it. As Sigma's Chief Technology Officer, Catherine Michel has extensive experience with technology as she leads the company's entire product portfolio and strategy. But she's also no stranger to merging technology and culture, having taken a company — Tribold — from inception to acquisition (by Sigma in 2013), and she continues to advise service providers on how to drive their own transformations. This impressive female leader and vocal advocate for other women in the industry will join Women in Comms for a live radio show to discuss all things digital transformation, including the cultural transformation that goes along with it.
