Amdocs’ multi-domain and multi-vendor orchestration solution for SD-WAN manages the end-to-end lifecycle of VNFs and services, from introduction through fulfilment to assurance. It provides the glue between the hybrid (physical/virtual) network and the BSS and OSS to ensure successful monetization of SD-WAN services.
2. What is software-defined
wide area network?
SD-WAN determines the most
cost-effective and efficient way
to route enterprise traffic
to remote locations over
ubiquitous broadband
and traditional IP/MPLS

12. Scenario
First Interglobal Bank, a large banking
corporation headquartered in the UK,
is rolling out a new branch in the US.
Customer Need:
New branch connected
… fast
Challenge:
3 months to set up
a new IP-VPN
Solution:
SD-WAN on internet-based
connectivity
16. The bank’s IT Manager orders
a VPN service for a new
branch in New York via the
operator's self-service portal.
He wants rapid deployment
of a secure service and
high performance.

25. 3. Local
breakout
Local breakout to resolve congestion
Heavy internet usage at the Leeds branch
causes congestion on MPLS link, triggering
a threshold alert.
The NFV orchestrator automatically
redesigns and re-fulfills the service to
enable internet connectivity directly from
the branch.
