'
While the advantages of SDN (Software
Defined Networking) and network virtualization are well known in the
enterprise IT and data center world, both technologies also bring a
host of benefits to the telecommunications service provider
community. Not only can these technologies help address the explosive
capacity demand of mobile traffic, but they can also reduce the CapEx
and OpEx burden faced by service providers to handle this demand by
diminishing reliance on expensive proprietary hardware platforms. The
recognition of these benefits has led to the emergence of the NFV
(Network Functions Virtualization) concept that seeks to virtualize
and effectively consolidate many service provider network elements
onto multi-tenant industry-standard servers, switches and storage.
'
'
Mobile operators and internet service
providers have already begun making SDN and NFV investments in a
number of functional areas including but not limited to EPC/mobile
core, IMS, policy control, CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), CDN
(Content Delivery Network) and transport networks. SNS Research
estimates that service provider SDN and NFV investments will grow at
a CAGR of 54% between 2015 and 2020. As service providers seek to
reduce costs and virtualize their networks, these investments will
eventually account for over $20 Billion in revenue by the end of
2020.

The report has the following key findings:
- SNS Research estimates that service provider SDN and NFV investments will grow at a CAGR of 54% between 2015 and 2020, eventually accounting for over $20 Billion in revenue by the end of 2020.
- At present, virtualized EPC/mobile core, IMS and policy control platforms represent over 70% of all VNF (Virtual Network Function) software investments.
- Although the use of SDN is widespread in the enterprise and data center domain, service providers are only beginning to adopt the technology to programmatically manage their networks.
- Investments on orchestration platforms will account for nearly $2 Billion in revenue by the end of 2020, representing more than 9% of all service provider SDN and NFV spending.
- The growing adoption of SDN and NFV has created a natural opportunity for silicon and server OEMs to combine their server platforms with a networking business stream.
