The Challenge with Existing vCPE solutions
Conflicts of Interest
Many of the existing vCPE solutions cannibalize carrier’s existing MPLS and CPE business. On top of this, they also provide vCPE solutions directly to enterprises, putting them in a conflicting position with that of the carrier.
Long Time to ROI with a Substantial Initial Investment
Most vCPE solutions require an entirely new virtual CPE to be adopted, as well as a virtual cloud infrastructure as the basis to run their solution. This imposes a significant undertaking and large investment by the carrier to replace both their current internal and CPE infrastructure to fully adopt a vCPE solution.
As a result, carriers can’t leverage their existing assets and skill set to their advantage. In fact it’s quite the contrary, those assets become a disadvantage rather than an advantage.
Proprietary
Most of the existing vCPE solutions in the market come with a proprietary stack, which imposes a high degree of lock-in and dependency on the vCPE providers.

The Cloudify Automation-First Approach

1. Automate Existing Processes
Existing services are automated with no initial investment in infrastructure.

2. Open Up Infrastructure
The open framework enables the incremental addition of new services, networking, and infrastructure.

3. Begin Offering Self Service
Within only months of launch, operators and their customers can enjoy the flexibility and profitability that come with self service.

4. Add New Capabilities Incrementally
The Cloudify platform is entirely open – making it easy to add new services according to needs.
Our approach is to optimize first by providing self-service and central control-planning for managing network services on the existing infrastructure and CPE (in brownfield environments). Once that is complete, you are able to plug-in new VNFs and cloud infrastructure as needed.
