Benefits of NFV
Revenue
Service rollouts and provisioning is faster as it’s software centric as
Growth opposed to hardware

Improved QoE Agile delivery allows for resources to be scaled-in and out to match the
consumer demand in real-time

Operational task such as infrastructure layout, network rollouts, appliance

Reduced Opex provisioning are all obviated and replaced with automation framework.
This results in reduced OPEX overtime.

Reduced Capex Hardware resources are tied to service needs as opposed to vendors. This
allows for better resource utilization.

 • Functional decomposition allows for independent scaling and management of functional components as
Microservices Architecture compared to monolith architecture.

• Virtual Network Functions are pre-packaged with interface and protocol aggregators allowing VNF to
Encapsulate Elasticity integrate and offer elasticity in brown field networks.

• Mavenir VNFs uses open interfaces such as NETCONF and REST to provisioning and management of
Highly Interoperable functions – enabling easy interoperability

• Mavenir VNFs are designed for machine and data separation – enabling faster recovery, higher
Stateless Framework availability and quicker migration

End-to-end Offering • Mavenir CloudRange can be package with NFVI, MANO, Applications and Assurance tools

High Performance Data plane • Mavenir being early adopter of Intel® DPDK has product suite offering near line-rate performance.

• Microservices Architecture enables us to deliver modern DevOps platform with: Observability, Traffic,
DevOps Platform Deployment and Runtime platform
