Networking undergoing significant shift…
Flexible, virtualized services
Scalable performance
Software and Automation taking key role
Rapid Deployment of New Services, Quality of Experience Differentiate
Low-power, integrated SoCs
Inflection points:
• S-RAN/C-RAN• Small cells• CRAN initiatives• CoMP etc.
• CDN @ Edge• Server/Higher performance
compute integration
• Virtualized services• Compute, Storage & I/O
• SDN (Open Flow, OpenStack, OpenDaylight…)
• Operator driven initiatives• NFV• Goal: Commodity compute with
networking offload.

Market dynamics faced by service providers� Market trends
� Data explosion accelerates operator profitability problem
� Cloud adoption in IT has been very fast and is radically changing the way technology will be deployed w/ business models that will be adopted by service providers.
� Pressure to converge on All-IP, virtualized, commodity platforms in turn puts pressure on the OEM’s competitive advantage with the highly-optimized proprietary HW platforms they offer today.
� Service Provider Value Chain � Top line - growth by addressing new opportunities (OTT revenue stream). Simplified B2B integration
and service differentiation
� Bottom line – increased efficiency
� Network management simplification in multi-vendor, multi-technology landscape
� Business and technology convergence
Result:Lots of New Entrants AMAZON, Google, Facebook, Skype, HP, IBM, Dell, Baidu, Plumgrid, Open Source etc.
ARM – Expansion of engagement strategy
Competitive Landscape Wireless Delivery

NFV:Operators ’ Cost/Flexibility Analysis
� Mobility, IoT driving explosion of data & devices to manage
� Lack of flexibility, agility to move, re-purpose network resources
� Variety of custom HW growing
� Software updates/service launches take many months
� High equipment costs, with costs ½ every 3.5 years*
� Std. Server cost curve ½ every 2 years showing promise*
� Cloud/Virtualization technologies rapidly maturing for functional consolidation
� Availability of OSS frameworks across networking, storage and compute
� SDN techniques emerging
Seeking a new model to scale network managementNetwork Function Virtualization group formed (NFV)
Operator Challenges Industry Trends
6
Operators need New Revenue
� OTT providers are making the big margins
� Operators cannot compete with OTT players w/ zero network cost
� Service Providers will likely need to take more control of the Services/App provisioning layer
� Services Enablement and Application Integration layer figure prominently in new models� This is where the $$$ is.

NextGen Architecture Viewpoint
� Key Potential Benefits� Optimum use of network resources
(Lowest cost function)
� Increase network agility
� Unleash service innovation
� Accelerate service “velocity”
� Extract business intelligence
� Enable dynamic, service-driven virtual networks “NaaS”
� Better economics� Drive down hardware costs
� Leverage performance/price advantage of distributed computing
� Lower OPEX

Solutions popping up like dandelions� Conceptual architectures, standards, open source projects
SDN as a Concept/Vision
Centralized Control Plane in Software, In VMs, on commodity servers
Entire network view for streamlined operations
Network managed by in-house net IT-merged into broader infrastructure
Promises Faster, simpler, cheaper OPEX
NFV: Network Function Virtualization
Working group under ETSIFormed by mobile operators
Use SDN concepts- Goal: virtualize mobile network elements as possible
Open Flow ProjectBy Open Networking Forum
All major players in
Defines architecture and API spec for SDN Controller.
Define protocol commands to data plane: Narrow focus
OpenDaylightMany major players from ONF and the broader industry
Broad Focus: Builds around OpenFlow (options), filling gaps such as Services Layer
Open Source Project
OpenStack
This is an Open Source project for building the next gen Cloud Infrastructure.
This seems what most will use as a code base for the back-end converged infrastructure.

NFV: Operator Perspective/Vision
10
Ecosystem Impact: Incumbent OEMs� Infrastructure incumbents have been responding to trends
� Smart, cloud-enabled access equipment, CDN, etc.
� Joining many of the initiatives to influence, contribute and navigate the shift
� Most are acquiring/developing SDN software assets to bolster their readiness and positioning
� Prediction: Incumbent OEMs will continue to factor heavily in solution supply chain� Experience/expertise in system integration/deployment, reliability etc.
� The architecture, packaging and value proposition must adapt
11
Ecosystem Impact: Software
� Legacy embedded networking ecosystem facing new entrants from enterprise ecosystem Disruption!
Mostly Proprietary OEM Code
12
What does this mean for Linaro?
Cloud Orchestration
Compute Networking Storage
LNG: Common Data Plane Programming Model:Data Plane OptimizationsOptimized SoCs
OpenStack gaining broad adoptionGreat opportunity for collaboration
OpenFlow, OpenDaylight Unproven:Strong concepts, troubling concerns:
Alternatives will no doubt emerge
Lots of opportunity for innovation & collaboration:• Hypervisors• Network virtualization• HW assist/Open Source HW• Service/Application Enablement

ARM’s Value Proposition in NFV/SDN
ARM and Partners driving
innovation
Not only power but integration and workload
optimization, and true commodity,
not monopoly
Common ISA , with choice, faster innovation
cadence andUnmatched range of
innovative SoC solutions
Open source driving
disruption
ARM, Linaro and Partners investing in
Open SourceMany Open Source Projects opening up
Opportunity or innovation, collaboration
& disruption never higher.
ARM technology for
NGN
Multi-core Cortex A and System IP
@ the right performance points
Robust 64bit Roadmap broadens the opportunity
Market demand for
ARM
Compute, Storage &Networking sectors want
and demand the ARM innovation
Expanding footprint at a rapid pace… Particularly via the
“Disruptors”
