Topology

Service Providers can realize new revenue streams and manage their bandwidth capacity in real time dynamically

SP Challenge• How to add value on top of

existing L2/L3 VPN services?

• How can the SDN Controllers integrate into SP existing business process?

• Capacity Management

• How can a SDN based solution address the twin challenges of OPEX reduction and new revenue?

SolutionCisco Bandwidth on Demand App:

• Web based Self Service Portal that enables Bandwidth on Demand provisioning with Calendaring that allows for rapid response in real time to shifting traffic demands.

• Provides pre-integrated, pre tested, pre stacked solution that can be drop shipped into customer environment.

ResultsOptimized costs:

• Reduced operational costs through accelerated deployment & dynamic Bandwidth capacity management.

New revenue Opportunity:

• Create new monetization streams for L2/L3 VPN value adds.

• Better service: Deliver more reliable uptime/SLA for customers

• Improved operational efficiency, faster time to market

Use Case: Cisco BWoD & Calendaring™

Customers can Optimize, Steer and Prioritize traffic across their network dynamically.

Challenge• How to optimize Traffic

management?

• increased operational costs due to Inefficiency in traffic utilization and management.

• Inability to isolate, set traffic priority and execute across a hybrid network.

• How to dynamically re route traffic based on changes in the topology?

SolutionCisco Intelligent Traffic App:

• Web based Self Service Portal that enables traffic to be isolated, prioritized, routed/switched across multi vendor hybrid networks.

• Provides pre-integrated, pre tested, pre stacked solution that can be drop shipped into customer environment.

ResultsOptimized costs:

• Reduced operational costs through accelerated deployment & dynamic traffic management.

New revenue Opportunity:

• Create new monetization streams by dynamically mapping customer, services & SLAs to network capabilities such as Low Latency.

• Deliver more reliable uptime/SLA for customers

• Faster time to market

Use Case: Intelligent Traffic Steering w/Scheduling™
