The world around us is changing at a rapid pace Four mega technology trends transforming IT: INTERNET OF SHIFT TO THE BIG DATA MOBILITY THINGS CLOUD 6.4 2.5 Trillion 85% 75% billion Gigabytes Data created Connected things Of enterprises Of world’s globally each in use worldwide use at least one mobile traffic will day in 2016 cloud service be video by 2020 today Worldwide revenues from public cloud Gartner forecasts that 6.4 billion connected services will reach more than $195 billion in things will be in use worldwide in 2016, up 30 2020. This will be more than double 2016 percent from 2015, and will reach 20.8 billion revenues and represents a CAGR of 20.4% by 2020 6
our customers are facing a new set of challenges Customer demand has a strong growth : Need for WAN bandwidth requirements are higher increasing above 30% per annum every bandwidth year “With a progressive uptake of video, IP audio and cloud, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of IP traffic is above 30% per year” Cost efficient Since 65% of WAN budgets are flat or declining, cost efficient scaling scaling of bandwidth is crucial. Radically faster Customers can set up new cloud services in minutes, yet delivery network times for new VPN sites and Ethernet connections are still delivery measured in weeks and months. Cloud services can be scaled up and down on demand, while Need for more bandwidth upgrades and feature changes for the network are in-life agility traditionally manually requested and take days/weeks to deliver 7
In response to this we are… Investing in a new ultra-high bandwidth network Introducing a high bandwidth optimised portfolio Launching On Demand and Software Defined WAN Services Further increasing focus on Enterprise market 8
Investment in ultra- high bandwidth “IQ” network: 4 focus areas 4 key investments will transform the backbone networks that support our customer services 1 2 New optical backbone: High bandwidth optical network “Express” Long Distance Network between major data centres • New metro optical network • Build “Express” long haul across 90+ data centres in 13 network between 30 major key cities in Europe and Asia European cities • Off the shelf delivery of • Based on architecture optimised 100Gbps & 200Gbps waves for high bandwidth • Rapid leadtimes – 5 days for connectivity 10Gbps waves 3 4 Build an Integrated Core and Evolve our voice network Metro Packet Network • Single integrated IP and • Next generation SIP Trunking Ethernet core network, session board controller covering 200+ data centres • SIP Trunking coverage expansion across Europe and Asia to • Delivers 100Mbps to 100Gbps 21 countries services via plug and play model 9
Novitas what is the customer need? Today’s digital economy means our customers can: Place an order, and it is delivered the next day Book a taxi via an app, it turns up in minutes Order cloud IT services and it is delivered in seconds However, most telecom services are still ordered and delivered in the same way they were 20 years ago! 10
Novitas what does it mean? NOVITAS transforms the way that network services are ordered and consumed, and brings a cloud like customer experience Today’s cloud experience Colt NOVITAS Real time delivery Traditional telco experience Portal consumed network services, delivered in real time! Delivery in weeks Manual configuration Steep bandwidth vs cost curve 11
Colt SDN/NFV transformation programme (Novitas) The Vision: to transform the way network services are ordered and consumed, delivering a cloud like customer experience (self-provision, in real-time) Elastic Deliver programmable flexible topologies Topology based on overlay and underlay networks. SDN Elastic Deliver programmable elastic links with Bandwidth variable bandwidth. 2015 Elastic Deliver virtualised off-net and on-net L2 and NFV Service L3 edge services on top of basic connectivity. And delivering important benefits: Available Self- Near Interworking Provides Supports through portal provision real-time with other performance value added and APIs providers analytics services 12
