Federated Networked cloud

Elastic and on demand Network provisioning is an exciting feature of network virtualization. One need to Rethink how to manage the multi-domain provisioning of network resources to transparently connect Datacenters across the world.

And Realize the necessary technologies that automatically integrate network and cloud by establishing and managing distributed cloud resources (compute, storage and networking) within and across providers’ domains enabling you to be part of global cloud offering.

› Network operators would play an important role in providing reliable connectivity of datacenters across the world.

› Rapid and on demand provisioning of cloud connectivity would enhance the experience of enterprise users

› Dynamic negotiation of connectivity services can happen regardless of underlying network or datacenter management system ( NMS or SDN ) (Openstack or OpenNebula)

Federated Networked cloud

The evolution of IT has taken us from application running on standalone servers to legacy application running on the cloud with on demand pay-per use business model. Seeing the limitation of localized cloud, we considered the networking challenges and move to distributed cloud and more tailored Telco cloud.

From the other side, the evolution of networking technologies, has taken us from TDM, ATM to IP/MPLS, Carrier ethernet and L2 and L3 VPN connectivities. To make the network control more flexible and network provisioning more agile, we have advanced to Network enabled cloud and Service Provider SDN.

We believe full convergence of Telecom and IT services is ahead and can be realized by Federated Networked Cloud across the world.

This will allow the enterprise user to demand and deploy infrastructure in different dataceters and have them connected over the WAN.

Enterprise User can enjoy rapid and on demand provisioning of Infrastructure (compute, storage and network) across multiple domain. User can today demand and deploy infrastructure in the Datacenters, but when it comes to connectivity of these infrastructure, he still relies on the relatively long process of network provisioning from the Network providers. Federated Networked Cloud provides Netwoking as a service integrated with IT infrastructure. Deployement happens as fast as delpoying a VM in a datacenter.

From the service provider’ stand, Federated cloud povides the possibility of business collaboration between different datacenter and network providers allowing them to chain their services outside their boundaries for a greater market coverage.

From the Technology stand; the solution is independent of any underlying Datacenter management or Network operation control. Dynamic negotiation of connectivity services regardless of underlying network technology. Network can be still controlled by network management system or SDN-based OpenFlow. Datacenter can be managed by Openstack or OpenNebula.

SAIL: AN EU collaboration Project

SAIL project was a strong consortium of 25 leading operators, vendors and research institutions

Funnded 12,4 million Euro for a duration of 2.5 year.

It started on Aug 2010 and is finalized on Feb 2013.

One focus area of this project was Cloud Networking which is being presented here.

Challenges of Federation of networked cloud

Federation of Networked Cloud faces some challenges. Lack of suitable abstractions, Currently there is no defined interface between cloud and Network providers. And most of all provisioning of Network is non dynamic and relatively rigid. Last but not the least there are organizational boundaries and information hiding principal that prevent easy cross domain activity. There are different management system used in different datacenters and different network management in different networks.

We are offering a framework for automatic interoperation across multiple service providers’ domain

That address all these challenges.

Our Response

› Automatic interoperation across

multiple service providers’ domain

– Network as a Service

– Integrated IT and Telecom resource

provisioning

– On-Demand, Elastic Resources

(Computer, Storage, Network)

– Dynamic Link Negotiation

– World wide cloud interconnection

– DataCenter High availability,

Prototyped networked cloud

During the project we work on proof of concept by developing the architecture and building a prototype testbed across 4 countries, which hosted 4 datacenters and an operator network to provide the connectivity.

We demonstrated a scenario where the enterprise user is requesting infrastructure in two part of the world and demands reliable connectivity between them.

When the request comes in, it is dispatched to different providers that can be involved and following dynamic link negotiation, the connectivity is established between these infrastructures

The user now can deploy his applications ( in this case a webshop) front end and backend in two datacenter and starts his business right away.A Video of this demo is available

This will bring flexibility, elasticity, on-demand and dynamic provisioning of networking service to the telecom domain and reliable coonectivity to the cloud domain.

It also allows the integration of IT and Telecom resource provisioning that is consistant across multiple domains

› Self-service

Bringing what is missing in today’senterprise WAN services

Bringing what is missing in today’sCloud Services


Value and strategy

The Value is in consolidating the services of cloud and network, Completing what is missing from the cloud today and Completing what is missing from the network today

›This will merge the quality of both worlds and allow the cloud seriveces to be Robust, Reliable, with Predictable Performance and dependable

›And the network services will have agile Configuration, Measured Services, and Elasticity

›Network will be offered in the Self-service manner.

›Obvioysly there is a need for networking services in the cloud offering and this is an oportunity for operators to enter in the market mostly in the enterprise domain.
