  • Information Technology Creates New Opportunities for Network Service Providers
    White Paper “In the Cloud” Information Technology Creates New Opportunities for Network Service Providers Authors Seanan Murphy and Wagdy Samir Service Provider Practice Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group August 2008 Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group (IBSG) Cisco IBSG © 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. White Paper “In the Cloud” Information Technology Creates New Opportunities for Network Service Providers Introduction For the past several years, incumbent telecommunications service providers (SPs1) have faced a decline in core legacy revenues, such as fixed-line voice and legacy packet data services in the enterprise and small- and medium-sized business (SMB) markets, which has forced them to move into adjacent markets primarily through acquisitions. Data and voice mobile services and unmanaged fixed data services fueled revenue growth for integrated SPs, but have left a gap in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). As a result, SPs have been retooling themselves to move “up the stack” into adjacent market spaces in the information technology value chain such as data center, unified communications, security, other IT-centric services, and advisory services. Many large, incumbent SPs entered these “up-the-stack” markets to a greater or lesser degree through acquisitions and alliances with IT providers. Managed network services are a part of this services market and a must-win battle for the incumbent service provider. Meanwhile, as SPs move into these adjacencies, “in the cloud” service providers— such as software-as-a-service (SaaS), infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), and hosted service-oriented architecture (HSOA) providers—are targeting transaction costs associated with IT services contracts and offering powerful, scaling economies.

  • A View of Cloud Computing
    International Journal of Networked and Distributed Computing, Vol. 1, No. 1 (January 2013), 2-8 A View Of Cloud Computing Juhnyoung Lee Research Staff Member and Manager IBM T. J. Watson Research Center [email protected] Today’s IT infrastructure is under tremendous pressure and is finding it difficult to keep up. In distributed computing environments, up to 85 percent of computing capacity sits idle. 66 percent of every dollar on IT is spent on maintaining current IT infrastructures versus adding new capabilities. In history, operations have industrialized to become smarter. Cloud Computing is positioned to industrialize the IT delivery of the future. It is a natural evolution of the widespread adoption of multiple technical advances in the distributed computing area including virtualization, grid computing, autonomic computing, utility computing and software-as-a-service. It provides a new paradigm for consumption and delivery of IT based services – It provides an enhanced user experience with a self-service user interface for IT management. It abstracts the technical details from end-users so that they no longer need expertise in, or control over, the technology infrastructure “in the cloud” that supports them. It provides flexible pricing based on pay per usage. It enables flexible delivery and sourcing models including private, public and hybrid clouds. Finally, it provides automated provisioning and elastic scaling of IT infrastructure. This paper presents several views on different perspectives of Cloud Computing, including technical advancement, IT delivery and deployment modes, and economics. Keywords: Cloud, cloud computing, infrastructure, services lower cost. Manufacturers use robotics to improve 1. Introduction quality and lower cost.

  • IBM Smartcloud: Building a Cloud Enabled Data Center
    Front cover IBM SmartCloud: Building a Cloud Enabled Data Center Redguides for Business Leaders Pietro Iannucci Manav Gupta Learn how to choose the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution that best matches your business needs See how to create an open and extensible IaaS solution Explore the details of the Cloud Enabled Data Center adoption pattern Executive overview Organizations are looking for ways to get more out of their already strained IT infrastructure as they face new technological and economic pressures. They are also trying to satisfy a broad set of users (internal and external to the enterprise) who demand improvements in their quality of service (QoS), regardless of increases in the number of users and applications. Cloud computing offers attractive opportunities to reduce costs, accelerate development, and increase the flexibility of the IT infrastructure, applications, and services. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is the typical starting point for most organizations when moving to a cloud computing environment. IaaS can be used for the delivery of resources such as compute, storage, and network services through a self-service portal. With IaaS, IT services are delivered as a subscription service, eliminating up-front costs and driving down ongoing support costs. IBM® has defined the Cloud Computing Reference Architecture (CCRA) based on years of experience of working with customers who have implemented cloud-computing solutions. The IBM CCRA is a blueprint or guide for architecting cloud-computing implementations. It is driven by functional and nonfunctional requirements that are collected from many cloud-computing implementations. IBM CCRA provides guidelines and technical work products, such as service and deployment models, and has defined the overarching implementations as adoption patterns.

  • Remove Barriers to Cloud Adoption with SD-WAN
    SOLUTION OVERVIEW Remove Barriers To Cloud Adoption With SD-WAN The future of business is in the cloud As the pace of change accelerates across every industry, IT is under more pressure than ever to drive business growth and innovation. A mass migration to the cloud is underway, as technology teams seek to build more flexible, agile infrastructures to meet the needs of their business stakeholders. From ilo n ntegrate pproach. According to Gartner, more than 50 percent of new large enterprise North American application adoptions in 2017 were composed of SaaS or other forms of cloud-based solutions1. Public cloud offerings such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure have become popular options for organizations that are extending onto the cloud. Public Branch SaaS VPN Edge Cloud This shift is driving major changes in enterprise network traffic, especially at branch locations. Branch office users are consuming more wide area network (WAN) bandwidth as they collaborate online, through popular services such as Skype for Business, WebEx, and Office 365. Organizations are also increasing the use of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offerings; accessing large rich-media files; and leveraging other bandwidth intensive applications. Traditional WANs can’t keep up with demands User/Customer Businesses are sold on the potential of the cloud as a powerful, agile business enabler. But IT teams face major challenges in addressing new demands due to the Security SaaS Branch complexity, cost, and static architecture inherent in their existing WANs, particularly for branch offices. It simply does not make sense to backhaul Internet-bound traffic Virtual from the branches over the data center, then out to the public internet.

  • May 25, 2021 TLP: White Report: 202105251512 Overview of Conti Ransomware
    HC3: Analyst Note May 25, 2021 TLP: White Report: 202105251512 Overview of Conti Ransomware Executive Summary Conti ransomware has recently been brought back into the spotlight due to its attack on Ireland’s national health system - the Health Service Executive (HSE). Conti leverages many of the tools and techniques common among major ransomware operators such as encryption, double-extortion via the use of a leak site, ransomware-as-a- service partnerships and many of the frequently-successful infection vectors such as phishing and remote desktop protocol (RDP) compromise, among others. One of several recommendations given by Sophos security researchers to protect networks from Conti is to keep regular backups of important and current data on an offline storage device. Report On May 14, 2021, Ireland’s HSE shut down “all national and local IT systems” in response to a Conti ransomware attack detected on their networks. The shutdown was an effort to contain the ransomware and “to protect [the systems] from encryption by attackers.” Additionally, all HSE employees were instructed to turn off their computers and not turn on computers that were already powered down. Conti ransomware is ransomware-as-a-service malware that targets victims primarily in North America and Western Europe. According to Sophos, the industries most frequently targeted by Conti are retail, manufacturing, construction, and the public sector but, any sector/industry can be targeted. Conti was found to have one of the biggest market shares of all ransomware operators in the first quarter of 2021 by Coveware. Conti is generally considered a successor to the Ryuk ransomware; however, one significant distinction between the two malwares is Conti ransomware uses the double-extortion technique.

  • Taxonomy of Cloud Computing Services
    IEEE Globecom 2010 Workshop on Enabling the Future Service-Oriented Internet Taxonomy of cloud computing services C.N. Hoefer and G. Karagiannis University of Twente, The Netherlands Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract—Cloud computing is a highly discussed topic, and many big players of the software industry are entering the development of cloud services. Several companies want to explore the possibilities and benefits of cloud computing, but with the amount of cloud computing services increasing quickly, the need for a taxonomy framework rises.
