Editor's Notes
- IT has never been under more pressure. Creating new business models, workflows and customer interaction channels can create a real headache for you. How do you ensure employees at remote offices don’t have to wait for cloud applications like Office 365, SAP or Salesforce to load and data to save? How do you safeguard that data and your corporate reputation? Will you be ready to support new innovations, like IoT or HD video conferencing and real-time speech translations in the future? And can you do all this within budget and ahead of time?
- Today, being digital is about remaining competitive. Business sponsors in sales, marketing, finance, engineering and production need to be able to collaborate, innovate and interact with supply chain partners and customers in new digital ways. The old story that the business owns the project and the job of IT is to deliver it no longer holds true. The new world is less request-driven and more collaboration-driven…and it moves at an accelerated pace. Since IT has an end-to-end view of critical company processes, it’s the central partner in or coordinator of change.
- But the experience is falling short today. IDC predicts that 60% of digital transformation initiatives will be unable to scale due to a lack of strategic architecture by 2017.
- Enterprises need infrastructure that is more agile, flexible and automated at a global scale. And they need to be able to monitor and control the actual quality of service end-users experience in real time. A new network approach is needed. SDN/NFV…key enablers of the new “Network of a Service” are key. I’ll explain how…
- With a Network as a Service, you no longer need to send multiple technicians on-site to install and service diverse switching, routing, load balancing, acceleration, firewall, VPN, security, and optimization boxes. A plug-and-play device can be switched on and activated remotely in minutes. We’re moving from fixed function, fixed capacity hardware to scalable and adaptable services in the cloud. This will make it much simpler for you to control the digital experiences your employees and customers enjoy to drive business growth.
- 1. With a Network as a Service, you’ll be able to up- and down-scale services in the cloud in real time in a very cost-effective way. 2. You’ll move from using multiple boxes on-site to a universal CPE. A uCPE puts two or more network functions on a standard piece of hardware, reducing the capital equipment you need to buy and giving you the flexibility to adapt as the needs of your business change. It eliminates the need for many proprietary and expensive appliances… and the time-consuming installation, configuration, testing and maintenance process, as well as the need for multiple IT staff with different skillsets. It will be possible to order and monitor these diverse service from a single portal. Our SDN orchestrator and APIs into diverse best-of-breed security, application performance solution and Easy Go Service Management Suite provide visibility and control across a customer’s entire infrastructure, whether the devices are managed by Orange, the enterprise itself or a third party.
- 1. Today we are able to enrich private and Internet connectivity to improve cloud application performance and security. 2. Enterprises are starting to be able to order and provision these services on-demand with the advent of SDN and NFV, globally orchestrated by our SDN controller. By 2017 SDN/NFV will be at the CPE and POP level, enabling fully orchestrated connectivity services. 3. Over the next two years, you will be able to benefit from a fully SDN-enabled Network as a Service (NaaS) to manage all your virtualized networks functions. APIs will interconnect diverse customer IT systems with a single pane of glass management window. 4. Over time, Orange will shift its focus from providing bandwidth to managing application SLAs that underpin its customers’ critical business processes. This will be enabled by a journey towards the “self-adaptive network” that responds to real-time employee and customer needs. Increasingly, big data, machine learning and higher levels of automation will predict network traffic congestion, security risks and end-user behaviour, giving you greater control over your digital business.
- Today Orange Business Services is launching Easy Go Network, our new Network as a Service offer om 75 countries. It enables enterprises to instantly provision virtual network functions (VNF) in their branch offices with full digital self-service ordering, customer care and reporting functions via a user-friendly portal. The first solution in the catalogue provides Internet-based VPN access and uses an all-in-one next generation firewall from Fortinet. The service includes a plug-and-play router that can be remotely provisioned and managed in in minutes at any site without the need for on-site IT staff. New branch offices need to be provisioned quickly and often have highly variable connectivity and security needs. Small sites and are good first candidates for virtualization, enabling you to build your expertise before scaling to larger programmes.
- Easy Go Network offers a number of benefits. In terms of agility, it offers the « one click » ordering that you need to execute digital transformation programmes at speed. This will enable, for example, multinational retailers to quickly and affordably open new sites, such as concessions or pop-up stores, and apply their global security policy in real time. Easy Go also enables you to de-risk digital transformation programmes and simplify your budget planning process with try-before-you-buy connectivity services and instant access to pricing and connectivity; It frees up staff for strategic initiatives by automating operations, administration, maintenance and provisioning (OAM&P) with the option of a Do It Yourself of co-managed service; Enterprises need the flexibility to apply consistent security policies across public clouds (the Internet), private clouds (VPNs), internal networks (LANs) and on individual devices (PCs, laptops and smartphones and IoT) at every location. Easy Go ensures branch offices using Internet-based VPNs are secure by design.
- Enterprises will be able to upscale and downscale capacity in response to employee and customer demand to ensure staff in any office around the world can access cloud applications without waiting for pages to load or data to save. It’s vital to be able to intelligently and automatically identify and resolve problems, proactively prevent bottlenecks and predict and forecast anticipated capacity.
- Our new Easy Go Network is build using open source and standardized solutions. This is essential to enable the end-to-end management of best-in-breed IT systems This ensures interoperability, upgradeability, reduces costs, the risk of obsolescence and increases innovation rates. By using an open, interoperable platform you benefit from: - Faster time-to-market - Increased access to solutions that are really tailored to your needs Less risk of being locked in to a particular technical approach to boost innovation agility and freedom. Orange is playing a leading role in the open source standards bodies and has even teamed up with our competitor to ensure vendors embrace this ethos.
- We have the track record of excellent service delivery that gives us the confidence to make this claim. We are committed to keeping your core business processes up-and-running around the world through our: Network investments – currently running at €5 billion a year at a group level Which is being targeted at 40 POPs globally by 2018, in addition to our SDN and NFV platform built using best-of-breed open source, standardized solutions.
- We’d like to invite you to our stand to see our Easy Go Network demo and meet with our SDN/NFV experts. Thanks for your time and I look forward to talking to you in person soon.
