Strategies to Ensure ROI From Ipv6 Transition and Deployments

1. Strategies to Ensure ROI From Ipv6 Transition and Deployments Alpna Doshi Asst. Vice President – Telecom Business Unit Satyam Computer Services Ltd. Email: alpna_doshi@satyam.com Global IPv6 Summit 25-27 June 2003

2. Essence The Need IPv6 acceptance for large scale deployments need a demonstration of Operational efficiencies through clear ROI. The Focus This presentation focuses on IPv6 transitions for carriers and infrastructure providers through proven actionable strategies to overcome challenges and in turn derive a well defined phased ROI.

3. IPv6 Adoption Business Drivers for N. America Transition and Deployments – Rising Interests Return on Investments - Strategy Implementation Challenges of Wide Scale Deployments Strategies from APAC – A proven ground Summary Topics

4. IPv6 on an As-Need Basis Prime Reason for Introduction – Additional Address Space in Wireless Data Providers and Asian public networks A means to leapfrog – government initiatives New Business Opportunities - Equipment vendors Justification of expenses to implement in hardware Gradual transitions based on Technical Requirements IPv6 Adoption - Analysts Believed … Slow Commercial Deployments on IPv6 Adoptions

5. US Europe Japan,China, Korea,Taiwan Looking for Applications Driven by Wireless First to move • Global Roaming • Security • QoS • Address • Reconfiguration • Multicasting • Mobile • QOS • Security • IPv6 Not an option • – its a must • Partnership with • Content providers • Government driven • By 2005 wide scale • deployments Carriers Interests Deployments through transitional moves to minimize ROI impacts

6. From the Eyes of Infrastructure Providers • Box Technology • Support of Content Enablers of Revenue Assurance Mixed Deployments Application software Routers and Hubs Stackable Switches NICs Investments dependent on Provider Demands – Rising trend

7. Global Uniformity New Revenue Streams with minimal Infrastructure Changes Economy Improvement Large Customer Based - Reach Small businesses - Affordability Enhancements to Features Business Drivers in N. America Technologists as Navigators and Proactive Agents to the Society

8. IPv6 Media/ Signalling Gateway PSTN SIP Proxy Server IPv4 or IPv6 MobileTerminal Existing IPv4 Internet WWW Server Operators ISP SIP Proxy Server SIP Client Global Uniformity End Users on the Run 400M Mobile Internet Users MobileIPv6 Model A Third Arm to dynamically Shrink Distances – Mobile Devices

9. Internet IPv4 or IPv6 address DSLAM ATM BAS IP Core SIP Server Globally routable IPv6 address(es) IPv6 Multimedia Domain Other Operator’s Multimedia Domain New Revenue Streams Internet VC – Variable Bit Rate Existing Infrastructure SIP VC – Constant Bit Rate • Home Entertainment • Storage Area Networks • High Speed Internet Access • Mobile Terminals The Supply Chain Cycle continues to foster New Content to Generate Revenue for Providers

10. Economy Improvement • Peer To Peer Global Communications • Increased opportunity to growth of businesses • Security and Performance a Must for all • such transactions For APAC IPv6 is one of the ways to keep the Economy well – Can we apply to US?

11. Transition and Deployments – Rising Interests New Technology vs. Enhancements Only Routers and Switches IPv6 Enabled Software Ready No Need to Dedicate Box for DHCP Server and NAT R E A L I T Y J U S T I F Y Where is the Cost? Does IPv6 Give Cost Savings? IPv6 Investments Is a Key Topic of Discussion for All Types of Providers

12. Phase I Phase II Phase III Quantitative ROI – Strategy Process Map Ipv4 vs Ipv6 Benefits Prioritization of KPIs Deployment Scenarios and Scale Technical Analysis QOS, Security… # Nodes, Routers,.. Existing Embedded Investments Revenue Assurance Via IPv6 ROI Via New Revenue Generation Via New IPv6Content New Infrastructure Embedded Investment Assumption: Existing IPv4 Deployments IPv6 Implementations, if phased out strategically with Feature Vs Content Mapping will derive the Needed ROI

13. Qualitative ROI - Strategy Opportunities Benefits Strategies • Transitions • New Deployments • Increase in the number • of Service Offerings • Faster Delivery of Services • Efficient SLA Management • Increased Customer • Satisfaction • Simplified Management and • Administration • Improved Technology talent • Start at the Edge • Dual Stack • Tunneling • Next is Core • Routine • Enhancements IPv6 Qualitative ROIs Analysis Needs to Incorporate A Longer Term View of Implementations

14. Keeping CAPEX Untouched Maximization of OPEX OSS Enhancements Core Network Upgrades – Equipment manufacturers standpoint Changes in Access Network Integration Challenges – Bringing it all together Implementation ChallengesWide Scale Deployments Changes are always challenging – specially when it has to Embrace a Large Domain

15. Strategies from APAC – Proven Ground Systematic Approach Transitions & Deployment ROI Advantage Points for US from ROI Benchmarks and Service support – Applicability from APAC

16. Phased ROIs In Wide Scale Deployments and transition to IPv6 Enterprise Driven Demands But Technologists Play a Key Role in Shaping it Overcoming ROI & Implementation Challenges Recommendation to Carriers and Infrastructure Providers Summary…
