分享全球的大小SD-WAN市场?关键球员是谁?
IDC估计,全球SD-WAN基础设施(不含管理服务)市场将以31%的复合年增长率31%的速度增长到2023年的53亿美元。Frost & Sullivan估计超过200亿美元将用于全球SD-WAN托管服务在2017年和2023年之间。
数十名SD-WAN服务和科技公司参与此次论坛,支持SD-WAN-related标准发展,参与涉及SD-WAN MEF 3.0概念验证演示。这包括球员像康卡斯特业务,AT&T, CenturyLink,橙色的业务服务,电讯盈科全球谱企业,特拉华公司所有,Verizon和一系列技术供应商。
今天的SD-WAN市场份额相似的早期今天的800亿美元载体以太网市场在标准化和服务、技术和专业认证。有很多兴奋的性能和价格优势和更大的灵活性,但也有一个巨大的需要教育和对齐的术语来帮助提高市场效率。
去年11月,我们推出了MEF 3.0 SD-WAN认证项目服务和技术以及我们的新SD-WAN (MEF-SDCP)项目的专业证书。这些主要的认证项目受到了好评。在1月初,我们宣布Nuage网络,Versa网络,和Infovista作为第一个认证MEF 3.0 SD-WAN供应商,我们有望宣布第一个认证服务提供商在Q1。超过200名专业人士来自世界各地80家企业参与了MEF-SDCP beta测试阶段。MEF-SDCP考试现在一般可以帮助公司解决专业技能在市场繁荣的SD-WAN目前存在的差距。
自动化网络的关键部件是什么?全世界的趋势是什么?
多年的通信行业正处于转型的动态,保证服务的全球联盟自动化网络,MEF 3.0框架的设想。服务提供商看到需要变得越来越自动化提供强大的网络解决方案,提供前所未有的用户——application-directed控制网络资源和服务。
有多少MEF工作组目前操作,他们的目标是什么?
我们有多个委员会关注应用程序、服务交响乐团api,认证项目、销售和教育。MEF有超过50 MEF 3.0活跃在这些项目和计划委员会。
MEF核心认证项目是什么,你帮助克服挑战的行业如何?
论坛提供众多服务、技术和专业认证项目加速MEF 3.0解决方案的可用性和采用,确保竞争力现在和将来。MEF 3.0服务和技术认证使得公司能够验证他们的解决方案符合行业标准的性能最高,保证和敏捷性。认证还有助于建立联合网络通过简化inter-provider互连的共识定义良好的服务属性和编制流程。MEF提供行业唯一的独立于供应商的专业认证程序,识别所需的技术技能支持成功转型的动态,保证服务策划在自动化、虚拟化和互联网络。
你合作5 g标准与全球机构喜欢ITU和GSMA吗?
MEF有一个不断增长的相关举措进行集5 g,包括工作载体运输5 g以太网服务,网络切片和编排5 g服务/网络片。
考虑安全的一个关键元素在5 g时代,你解决了吗?
安全是一个巨大的主题,一个重要的领域为MEF工作。我们的应用程序安全SD-WAN项目重点是定义政策标准和行动保护应用程序(应用程序流)在一个SD-WAN服务。工作包括定义威胁、安全功能和安全政策术语和属性,然后描述一个安全策略应采取什么行动来响应特定的威胁。

<\/figure>The MEF<\/a>, a US-based international industry<\/a> consortium has undertaken a number of programs related to the fifth generation (5G) network technology, and initiatives for carriers\u2019 transformation in the cloud era. In an interaction with ETTelecom\u2019s Muntazir Abbas, MEF President Nan Chen<\/a> said that security continue to be a core focus area for the forum and service operators are increasingly looking at the need to become more automated to deliver powerful networking solutions. Edited excerpts. <\/i>Share the size of the global SD-WAN<\/a> market? Who are the key players?<\/b>
IDC estimates that the global SD-WAN infrastructure market (excluding managed services) will grow at a 31% compound annual growth rate of 31% to $5.3 billion by 2023. Frost & Sullivan estimates more than $20 billion will be spent globally on SD-WAN managed services between 2017 and 2023.
Dozens of SD-WAN service and technology companies are involved in MEF, have supported SD-WAN-related standards development, and participated in MEF 3.0 proof of concept demonstrations involving SD-WAN. This includes players like Comcast Business, AT&T, CenturyLink, Orange Business Services, PCCW Global, Spectrum Enterprise, Telia, Verizon, and a host of technology vendors.
<\/div><\/div>What are the challenges in the adoption of open source SD-WAN?<\/b>
Today\u2019s SD-WAN market shares similarities to the early years of today\u2019s $ 80 billion Carrier Ethernet<\/a> market before standardization and services, technology, and professional certification took hold. There is lot of excitement about performance and price advantages and greater flexibility, but there is also a huge need for education and alignment on terminology to help increase market efficiencies.
In November, we introduced our MEF 3.0 SD-WAN certification program for services and technologies as well as our new SD-WAN Certified Professionals (MEF-SDCP) program. These major certification programs have been well-received. In early January, we announced that Nuage Networks, Versa Networks, and Infovista as the first certified MEF 3.0 SD-WAN vendors, and we\u2019re on track to announce the first certified service providers later in Q1. More than 200 professionals from 80 companies worldwide participated in the MEF-SDCP beta test phase. The MEF-SDCP exam is now generally available to help companies address the professional skills gaps that currently exist in the booming SD-WAN market.
What are the key components of automated networks? What are the trends worldwide?<\/b>
The communications industry is in the midst of a multi-year transformation to dynamic and assured services across a global federation of automated networks, as envisioned in the MEF 3.0 framework. Service providers increasingly see the need to become more automated to deliver powerful networking solutions that provide unprecedented user- and application-directed control over network resources and services.

Service providers increasingly see the need to become more automated to deliver powerful networking solutions that provide unprecedented user- and application-directed control over network resources and services.
<\/div><\/div>A large and growing number of service providers also recognise that they must transform from operating as independent islands to being integral players in a worldwide business federation of cloud-like networks that support standardised dynamic services across multiple operators. In the current year, MEF will share a lot more about the progress we are seeing with industry adoption of LSO Sonata APIs. More than 60 global and regional service providers are at various stages of evaluation, demonstration, production readiness, implementation, and certification of LSO Sonata APIs to enable frictionless inter-provider commerce.
How many MEF working groups currently operate, and what are their objectives?<\/b>
We have multiple committees focused on applications, services, LSO APIs, certification programs, and marketing and education. MEF has more than 50 MEF 3.0 active projects and initiatives within these committees.
What are MEF core certification programs and how are you helping the industry to overcome challenges?<\/b>
The forum offers numerous services, technology, and professional certification programs to accelerate availability and adoption of MEF 3.0 solutions and ensure competitiveness now and in the future. MEF 3.0 service and technology certification enables companies to validate that their solutions comply with the highest industry standards for performance, assurance, and agility. Certification also facilitates the creation of federated networks by streamlining inter-provider interconnection with a common understanding of well-defined service attributes and orchestration processes. MEF offers the industry's only vendor-neutral professional certification programs that recognise the technical skills required to support successful transformation to dynamic and assured services orchestrated across automated, virtualized, and interconnected networks.
How are you collaborating on 5G standards with global bodies like ITU and GSMA?<\/b>
MEF has a growing set of initiatives underway related to 5G, including work related to Carrier Ethernet services transport for 5G, network slicing, and the orchestration of 5G services over network slices.
Considering security as a critical element in the 5G era, how are you addressing it?<\/b>
Security is a huge topic and an important area of work for MEF. Our Application Security for SD-WAN project is focused on defining policy criteria and actions to protect applications (application flows) over an SD-WAN service. Work includes defining threats, security functions, and security policy terminology and attributes, and then describing what actions a security policy should take in response to certain threats.
