It provides definitions of cloud computing, explaining that it relies on sharing computing resources over the internet rather than local servers. It then summarizes the main service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), deployment models (private, public, hybrid, community clouds), and benefits of cloud computing like cost savings, scalability, reliability and reduced maintenance needs. It also outlines some challenges around security, privacy and controlling cloud infrastructure.
There has been no shortage of edge computing activities during 2017, in both the telco and web-scale
domains. Several Tier One communication service providers (CSPs), including AT&T, China Mobile, and
Deutsche Telecom (DT), have announced that edge computing will be a key component of their future
network strategies and expect that several new use cases will be powered by edge servers. In the cloud
domain, Amazon, Facebook, and Google are pushing further toward the edge of their own networks, creating
more points of presence throughout the world. Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods in the United States
could also be interpreted as a first attempt to obtain real estate across the U.S. market that can be used
for Amazon’s edge servers. In fact, all major web-scale companies—Amazon, Google, and Microsoft—have
announced edge computing services that are driven by IoT use cases.
Cloud, the Enterprise, and the Enterprise ArchitectElisabeth Stahl
The document discusses the role of enterprise architects in cloud adoption. It provides examples of how enterprise architects helped two clients leverage cloud computing to improve user experiences and enable rapid business transformation. The key takeaways are that enterprise architects should utilize their expertise in enterprise architecture domains to support cloud adoption and lead enterprise-wide transformation initiatives involving cloud. Architects need skills in business processes, business cases, ROI analysis and technical architecture definition to effectively guide organizations' cloud strategies.
This document discusses cloud computing and its opportunities for telecommunications companies. It provides an overview of cloud computing concepts and categories. It then discusses True IDC, a major cloud computing provider in Thailand, and how it offers infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). The document also outlines opportunities and challenges for telecommunications companies to leverage their network expertise and enterprise relationships to provide cloud services.
This document provides an overview of cloud computing as an emerging technology. It defines cloud computing, explains the key components and models, identifies major players, and discusses the evolution and potential of the technology. Some of the main points covered include:
- Cloud computing delivers IT capabilities and services over the internet on a flexible, on-demand basis.
- Major players include Amazon, Google, Microsoft, IBM and startups.
- While limitations around security, control and reliability exist, cloud computing offers benefits like reduced costs, faster deployment, and scalability.
- The technology has evolved from earlier distributed computing concepts and is poised to further transform how businesses access technology resources.
Technology Trends & Strategies for 2014. How to prepare your company for next wave of IT & Cloud computing focused on mobile applications and user experience
Cloud computing allows consumers and businesses to use applications without installation and access files from any internet-connected device. It provides shared computing resources over a network on-demand as a utility. There are concerns around security and privacy as cloud providers have control over user data. However, new approaches around information-centric security aim to give more control to users. A shift to cloud computing could benefit large internet companies while traditional software producers may face challenges adapting. It remains to be seen if cloud computing will ultimately become the dominant IT model.
This document discusses three customer case studies of telecom companies using Cloudera's Enterprise Data Hub:
1) SFR used the data hub to create a centralized data store and 360-degree view of customers, combining structured and unstructured data from multiple sources for real-time search, reporting and analysis. This improved the customer experience and increased data warehouse performance.
2) British Telecom used the data hub to accelerate data processing from 24+ hours to near real-time, addressing issues with disparate customer databases and long ETL windows that limited access to up-to-date customer information.
3) Telkomsel deployed the data hub to gain insights from customer, network and transactional data to

1. Research Rationale.
The communications industry is an industry which rarely sleeps. Technological advances are
always being sought for new methods of transferring more data from point A to point B at ever
faster speeds.
The communications industry finds itself in a position where the expectations for data transfer
capability between devices is exceedingly high and finds itself having to cater for demands in-
creasing between 100% and 300% annually, depending on the industry sector.
Operators and regulators are faced with a number of competing technologies. Research into
these technologies and their assessment may assist in the progression of advancements.
What is Cloud Computing?
For many, Cloud is a concept that has been established for many years but
is now known under this new term. There are many established companies
providing Cloud services and the reliance on these services is on the in-
crease.
Cloud computing is a very broad term which has been associated with many
evolving application technologies and trends. Very broadly speaking, cloud
computing could fall into the below categories:
• Software and software licensing, i.e. running software remotely from
the “cloud”
• Processing, storing, sharing and distribution of files, documents and
media.
Industry commentators often liken cloud services to a company making use
of a courier company for distribution around the globe rather than setting up
and maintaining their own distribution network
Who uses Cloud?
A recent report by the study group OVUM showed that “63 per cent of Multi-
national Corporations (MNCs) in Asia-Pacific reported the uptake of at least
one of the cloud services categories; networking, communications, applica-
tions, corporate IT systems, as well as data management, security and back
-up.”
Two problems for the uptake of cloud services:
• companies are weary to invest as they did in the dot.com era as it is
difficult for any of the industry players to predict the uptake of the
individual services they are wanting to offer.
• standards have not yet been defined, no-one is sure of the route
cloud services will take.
People and corporations are concerned about their data, its protection and
its security.
Recently, one of the larger hosts of Cloud services, Amazon, under the
name EC2 experienced a major network outage, These sort of disruptions
highlight vulnerabilities for the providers of Cloud services but do very little
for the confidence of potential customers.

CLOUD COMPUTING:
THE CHALLENGES FOR DATA NETWORKS
Predicted take-up of Cloud services (Ried & Kisker, 2011)
Future-Proofing data infrastructure
As was the case in the dot.com era, the internets’ infrastructure needs a large amount of
investment to keep pace with the current trend of expectation.
There are a number of projects either underway or being considered by operators , gov-
ernments and organisations. These include:
• Fibre Rollout– The UK government has ambitious plans to work with private enter-
prises such as Virgin Media and BT to radically upgrade the existing infrastructure
with fibre. China Telecom are striving towards expectations laid out in China’s “Five
-year plan” to provide fibre to 100million subscribers by the end of 2015.
• IPv6– Other than providing the internet with 2128
addresses, IPv6 brings along with it
additional features and it would inadvertently reduce background radiation on the
networks
• MPLS and QoS: Multiple Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) allows operators to
merge existing technologies, reducing the amount of conversion.
• The use of Integrated and differentiated services
• MODE-GAP project– part of the EU’s Seventh Frame-
work Programme. Its aim is to develop multi-mode ca-
pacity enhancement with PBG fibre and targets a 100
fold enhancement in the overall capacity of the broad-
band core networks. The project is set to run from Octo-
ber 2010 through to September 2014.
• Spectral Efficiency– Attaining improved spectrally effi-
cient modulation schemes and communications systems is imperative for wireless
communications. For many mobile phone operators their capacity limitations are
shifting towards spectrum limitations. Issuing operators with spectrum within the
Digital Dividend provides a balance of cost and coverage.
• LTE and IMT-advanced– Long Term Evolution is the successor to the current 3G
networks and the precursor to IMT-advanced ). IMT-advanced
will be an all IP network offering speeds of up to 1Gbit/s
with spectral efficiency reaching 15 bit/s/Hz
• Mobile network caching and application optimisation– There is
much room for optimisation in mobile phones and for intelligent
networks.
• Reconfigurable Radio Systems (RRS)- is further subdivided into two areas:
• Cognitive Radio/Dynamic Spectrum Access technology that is a radio or
system that senses, and is aware of, its operational environment, dynami-
cally and autonomously adjusting its radio operating parameters accord-
ingly by collaborating with surrounding wireless and locations information
services, making use of under-utilised spectrum spaces (White Spaces)
• Software Defined Radio– The number of radios in a mobile device is sky-
rocketing. The expected solution is that engineers will be able to design
software systems such that the components controlled by these systems
are tuneable over a wide range
• All Optical Networks (AON)- Fibre optic networks are a reality today. Advance-
ments such as in the MODE-GAP project are constantly being made but there is still
a large amount of Optical-Electrical-Optical conversion taking place. AON’s call for
devices in such networks to work solely in the time domain.
So what’s the problem?
One of the issues hampering investment in data networks is that while the operators
(both fixed and mobile) are expected to deploy ever faster networks to cope with the
consumer demand, they are finding their revenue falling.
In terms of bandwidth, cloud computing could be considered a blip when compared
to the size and scale of hungry content rich services such as Youtube, BBC iplayer,
Netflix and other IPTV entertainment solutions.
These services combined with businesses heading towards cloud solutions, de-
mands from educational institutions and government economic strategies place em-
phasis on the possible future expectations placed on the internet and data infrastruc-
tures.
