› Intel RSD is a design architecture
– Hardware disaggregation,
composed based on workload
– Open source software components
› Ericsson is the first vendor getting RSD
with Compute, Storage and Networking.
› Ericsson and Intel have strong
partnership & commitment to RSD.
› Dell, Huawei, SuperMicro and other
vendors are also following RSD.

Increased utilization and faster time
to market through a SW defined
infrastructure, that can flexible combine
components as required by workloads.
Disaggregated hardware
Increased efficiency and improved HW
utilization through seamless scaling
of compute and storage infrastructure
to fit the workload’s needs.

Command Center
Increased efficiency with open
management of Ericsson and other
vendors infrastructure
Simplified integration with open interfaces

cooling, floor space
Command center:
One open integration and

CAPEX efficiency
One common HW pool
reducing HW and SW licenses
needed
Disaggregated HW: longer

• Lead Technology – R&D :
– They like to take a challenge such as
“first in the world”
– Leading 3GPP and other standard.
• Transforming to global ecosystem :
– As result of leading technology,
sometimes has taken different path
compared to global market
– Technology evolution moves faster than
ever, shifting to global ecosystem

Challenges
• Pending standards on orchestrator
• CEE (VIM + NFVi)
– Lack of OpenStack carrier grade features
• Multi-vendor integration
– API definition & verification with each VNF vendor
• New technology and new partner
DOCOMO drives us towards perfection
Conclusions
• “No difference” between classic & vEPC
• NFV issues: OSS & complicated maintenance
• NFV cuts building/operation costs by >10%
• Further savings expected:
e.g., increased cost-efficiency of network
equipment (COTS HW), automatic
maintenance of network nodes, etc.
