The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

-Aristotle


Telco includes lots of parts


Interoperability = Value


Sum of Multiple Parts: Multi-Vendor SolutionsAvoiding Vendor Lock-in and Solving Key Business Problems

▪ Leverage best available solutions at each level

▪ Rapidly adopt new or better solutions as they

become available

▪ All made possible by open standard interfaces

▪ As long as it all works…….

Standard Server Platforms (Hardware)

NFV Infrastructure Platform (NFVI Software)

OSS / BSSService

Orchestration

Virtual Network

Functions (VNFs)


Much Can Go Wrong

▪ Interfaces not fully defined in standards

documents

▪ Comprehensive test frameworks not yet available

in most cases

▪ It’s software: always dependencies on drivers,

kernels etc.

▪ Need to implement optimizations to leverage other

elements

Collaboration Between Vendors is Essential

▪ Validated end-to-end solutions give service

providers the confidence to adopt multi-vendor

implementations

▪ Accelerates their time-to-deployment

▪ Minimizes their schedule risk

▪ Ensures optimized solutions that fully leverage each

vendor’s productStandard Server Platforms (Hardware)

Why is interoperability valuable?


Titanium Ecosystem Cloud

Proven interoperability with complementary products from leading vendors

▪ In-depth

engineering

collaboration to

validate

compatibility and

interoperability

▪ VNF performance

optimization

▪ Performed either at

partner’s facilities or

at Wind River’s

partner lab

▪ Comprehensive test
