Benefits of Virtualization
› Why do we do this? › Virtualization will enable the TPGs to focus
– Ease of handling -> Reduced OPEX on developing applications!
– Elasticity -> Reduced OPEX – The infrastructure (servers, storage,
– Reduced LCM -> Reduced OPEX networking, virtual environment) is managed by
– Market Perception SDI within DU and the SI/CU looking from a
customer perspective
– Telco clouds around the corner
– Reduced costs? No – not really…
› The main saving / efficiency improvement
› RM and CS are real-time systems which from R&D perspective comes when we look
means that over-commitment of resources at LCM handling and supporting multiple
will be avoided deployment environments
– Over-commitment of physical resources is the
main reason for claiming reduced investments
costs when introducing virtualization
