Enterprise Networking (EN) services are source of high revenues for carriers. However, the traditional way of providing and selling those to enterprise and business customers is ossified and unsatisfactory for users. High prices, static connections and slow time to provision, make enterprise users doubtful about whether guaranteed connectivity is worth the price and push them to look for alternative solutions. That poses carriers at high risk of customer leak. This paper explains how SDN can foster the evolution of EN services in order to make them appealing again to enterprises. We propose an approach based on an SDN orchestrator as the enabling component of EN "4.0" services that are rapidly deployable, tailored to users' needs and dynamically configured. By global optimization of the core and the edge, a carrier can cut OpEx and increase margins. We present an early implementation of this concept, describing a demo-test in a simple virtualised but realistic network environment, showing new features and advantages for the carrier in terms of resource optimization. |
