Cloud Readiness Index 2014Source: Asia Cloud Computing Association
Infrastructure 40%
Regulation 60%
Data Center Risk Index 2013: Cushman & Wakefield, hurleypalmerflatt and Source8
Composition of DCR Index
It’s all about infrastructure.
Infrastructure is all about right-of-way• Yesterday:
– Telegraph lines aerially passed along the train tracks and highways
– High Frequency radio links required no seamless ROW
• Today:– Securing orbital slots remains critical for satellites
– Spectrum is the ROW for microwave transmission
– Highways are favorite ROW for optical fiber transmission
• Optical fiber has democratized infrastructure– Undersea transmission, railway signaling and SCADA.
• Submarine cables always need permission to enter national maritime boundary.
Infrastructure was unified in 1901
Infrastructure is segregated today
ESCAP-ITU terrestrial map in progress
Hybrid network of TTK: World’s largest Rail + Road + Sea
Terrestrial length: >76,000 km. Capacity: >1.6 TbpsPeering: PLIX (Warsaw), NIX.CZ (Prague), Espanix (Madrid), MIX (Milan), France-IX (Paris), LINX (London), DE-CIX (Frankfurt), AMS-IX (Amsterdam)
India: Powertel network• OPGW (Optical Ground
Wire) of 25,000 km. Adding 33,000 km.
• Overhead. Immune to: fiber cuts, sabotage, vandalism.
• Coverage over 200 cities and towns.
• Reliability: 99.99% SLA
• Multiple self resilient rings of complete redundancy in backbone as well as intra-city access networks.
Powertel Sans Frontières
India buys IP transit from Bangladesh
From bandwidth to transit
BSNL should be using Powertel network
• National Long Distance
• (NLD) license.
• ISP Category ‘A’ license
• to provide internet.
• IP-I To provide Telecom
• Infrastructure
Exploiting ROW of Highway, Railway and Power transmission
Connecting 32 Eurasian countries with EU through 141,000 km of standardized roadways.
