Increased Focus On Network Power Consumption To Lower Opex, Go Green
Introduction
Introduction
In this first network equipment power benchmarking report, Ovum surveyed major network operators and systems vendors to gauge their views on issues and trends for power consumption in public networks.
Highlights
One common theme among telcos is clear - they are all looking to provide an efficient next-generation network on which they can offer high-quality value-added services (VASs) to their customers. Telecoms operators are faced with a string of challenges from defending their core fixed revenues to generating growth from new wave services and international operations.
Reasons to Purchase
Ovum''s research helps vendors and service providers accelerate delivery of profitable new revenue streams. Our findings help businesses make more effective strategic and business decisions faster.

Executive summary
In a nutshell
Ovum view
Key messages
Wide divergence of approaches with no clear industry standards and metrics
Service providers generally not willing to trade off higher capex now for lower power-related opex later
Macroeconomic meltdown has increased the markets focus on reducing power consumption

Architectural change/network transformation is not being done explicitly to reduce power consumption
There are benefits to power reduction beyond mere cost-reduction
Whats the problem with network power? The impact of traffic growth on networks and network power
Power cant increase linearly with network traffic growth without massive negative consequences
Within wireline networks, routers present the biggest challenge
Ovum survey results: Power usage as a relative concern
Service providers
Summarized service provider survey responses
Industry wide, power accounts for 2-3% of opex, and this is likely to rise

Usage hot spots in the network and beyond
Power usage inside the customer premise
Business risks from not addressing power consumption
Steps taken thus far to reduce power
