Resume

This report provides a benchmark of telcos’ network transformation strategy covering SDN/NFV implementations, network slicing overview and also datacenters evolution.

The idea of the benchmark is to give a global overview of the real involvement of telcos on virtualisation through trials, deployments and launch of commercial services involving SDN/NFV.

Questions to be answered are:
– Who are the telcos involved in SDN/NFV?
– What are their strategy in implementing virtualisation in their infrastructure?
– Where do they start implementing it in their infrastructure?

The report also describes how management and orchestration (MANO) is seen as a major issue slowing down the virtualisation implementation as telcos do not agree with a common framework.

The Excel workbook including the benchmark content is provided.
