Critical Challenges in NFV Must Be Addressed Now
1. Service provisioning and configuration services must maintain full
compatibility with existing OSS/BSS infrastructure
2. Must minimize performance degradation due to the use of
virtualized applications running on commodity hardware
3. Must maintain current levels of carrier grade SLAs and security
Traditional enterprise-class are not designed to meet carrier grade
challenges.

Unique Benefits for Service Providers and TEMs
Wind River Carrier Grade Communications Server solves problems that cannot be addressed by
enterprise-class software designed for IT applications
Unique features in Carrier Grade Communications Server include:
• Developed with TL 9000 design methodology to ensure six 9s (99.9999%) reliability
• Full 10 G line rate accelerated virtual switching running unmodified guest applications
• 10 µs deterministic interrupt latency to support virtualization in the most stringent CPE and access sections of the
network
• Accelerated live VM migration including “share nothing” model: 40% faster than enterprise software
• 500 km geographical redundancy over standard IP network; more over dedicated fiber
• Detection of failed controllers, hosts, or VMs 60x faster than enterprise Linux; automatic recovery, with no single point of
failure
• Fully integrated telecom-grade security, including complete AAA access control

• As telecom service providers adopt NFV, carrier grade reliability is a critical requirement.
– Consumer and enterprise customers are conditioned to expect that telecom networks do not fail.
– Providers must maintain traditional network reliability; otherwise, churn increases, OPEX grows, and ARPU falls.
• You can’t achieve carrier grade reliability with enterprise-class software designed for IT applications.
– Telecom networks need six 9s.
– Carrier grade requires flexibility, resource allocation, reliability, performance, and security features designed-in
from the start; it can’t be done with enhancements to the existing code base.
• Wind River is uniquely positioned to deliver carrier grade solutions into the NFV market.
– We have a dedicated networking engineering team with a long, successful heritage in telecom equipment
companies.
– We have strong traction with service providers, TEMs, and partners.
