Re: World NFV Market Growth
@JohnBarnes, I like your econometric thoughts - that fits. And your scenario I believe is quite accurate. Eventually, the dinosaurs will lose grip and retire or die off. That model works.

Re: World NFV Market Growth
@JohnBarnes, I could not agree more with your futuristic view of metrics (statistics, math, etc.). I see it everywhere and it will create an entirely new context for how we view things.
I am working with some projects with cognitive computing, which adopts the AI and machine learning to problem solving. You can see the metrics as core knowledge built in.
I am with you on the future with education and I would be in the class with you. The Human Intelligence needs to keep pace with the Artificial Intelligence - then technology will augment, rather than replace humans.

DHagar,
"Science progresses by funerals." Often attributed to Thomas Kuhn, though he repudiated the idea (further research showed that science is one of the few places where people actually change their minds).

Re: World NFV Market Growth
@JohnBarnes, fascinating! That truly is the key to the future.
Some will stay wedded to the past, but the future truly will open up a different world - a potential renaissance if you will.

World NFV Market Growth by 2020
Chris Haddock provide some very insightful facts about the NFV market that hopefully other NFV companies will comprehend.
I agree with him that operators do need to strategize in how they choose to virtualize the various functions in their networks. This may require re-training employees or hiring specially skilled consultants.
Companies should consider capacity management and future growth even when outsourcing NFV or other services. What is the strategic plan for the outsourcing company in the next 3-5 years, are there opportunities for partnerships, forums or collaborations, how can the company remain competitive if it outsources services, etc.
As Haddock said, "...invest in a selection of best-in-class software building blocks, using a number of smaller components, to make best use of the computing resources available to them," "Used in this manner, NFV can empower operators to evolve their networks and services at their own pace, ahead of and in response to local competition."
This seems like a no brainer but this concept gets lost as it travel up the management ladder.

Re: World NFV Market Growth
@DHagar - I think to some extent the written word is immune to such "fads." People tend to have more time to think about what they are going to write, and that time allows people to process their thoughts more compelete.

Re: World NFV Market Growth
@DHagar - I would suspect the companies going slow to switch the NFV are being cautious. They may want to be sure they have a quality service to offer customers before embarking on anything. Let everyone else work out the kinks and then they'll jump in.
Agile
"Instead, operators need to invest in a selection of best-in-class software building blocks, using a number of smaller components, to make best use of the computing resources available to them,"
This makes perfect sense. Being agile always helps to be inline and practically feasible with chnages to come. That way you don't need to wait for the whole cycle just to go back and make changes.

Re: World NFV Market Growth
@elizabethv - interesting perspective and thoughts on the written word. Maybe that is why words seem to last longer - even than "tweets". Yes, there truly is more of a commitment to selecting words. Let's hope that remains true and does not change - it is an encouraging realization.
