It was dedicated to the two main streams in modern Network Architecture – Software-Defined Network and Network Function Virtualization. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as the hottest new networking trend of the past few decade. Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a complementary trend and together they promise to shape the evolution of the Internet and Cloud infrastructure into a Software Defined Infrastructure while transforming the industry. Network and cloud providers are already embracing these trends and early adopters are aggressively trialing and deploying SDN and NFV. Established and new vendors are busy creating their own SDN and NFV technologies and solutions and are competing for leadership positions in this rapidly growing international market. The conference brought together SDN and NFV leaders of the international scientific community, research departments of corporations, and industrial enterprises of the Russian Federation, as well as academic institutions and public authorities where they have discussed the most urgent and promising technologies in the area of computer networking, virtualization and cloud computing, to share the latest developments and provide a platform for in-depth discussions on the state of the industry and how to move forward. The conference provided excellent opportunities to interact with and influence the rapidly developing ecosystem of researchers, telecom and cloud operators, vendors and other stakeholders in Russia. The conference gathered prominent representatives of industry and academia from various international projects focusing on SDN/NFV to discuss developing novel ways and tools for network-enabled scientific research. It was facilitate the exchange of information within individual scientific fields as well as inside interdisciplinary and international collaborations. The conference agenda has also included two-days School for young scientists, post-graduates and graduate students. Its goal is to develop and enhance the pool of available talent proficient in these technologies and solutions within the Russian Federation. The papers presented on the conference are collected in this proceeding

In the first sec- tion, multi-media services are discussed with regard to three aspects: applications, operational characteristics and service models. The second section focuses on subnetworks and bearers; mainly impairments caused by characteristics of the wireless environment. An overview of the Iris tactical bearers is provided as an example of a tactical IP environment. The last section looks at how IP can integrate these two elements i.e. multi-media services and impaired sub- network links. These three sections are unified by a common theme, quality of service, which runs in the background of the discussions.

This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks. In 1982 the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a world-wide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced.

    PART I FOUNDATIONS COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO CLOUD COMPUTING WILLIAM VOORSLUYS, JAMES BROBERG, and RAJKUMAR BUYYA 1.1 CLOUD COMPUTING IN A NUTSHELL When plugging an electric appliance into an outlet, we care neither how electric power is generated nor how it gets to that outlet. This is possible because electricity is virtualized; that is, it is readily available from a wall socket that hides power generation stations and a huge distribution grid. When extended to information technologies, this concept means delivering useful functions while hiding how their internals work. Computing itself, to be considered fully virtualized, must allow computers to be built from distributed components such as processing, storage, data, and software resources [1]. Technologies such as cluster, grid, and now, cloud computing, have all aimed at allowing access to large amounts of computing power in a fully virtualized manner, by aggregating resources and offering a single system view. In addition, an important aim of these technologies has been delivering computing as a utility. Utility computing describes a business model for on-demand delivery of computing power; consumers pay providers based on usage (“pay- as-you-go”), similar to the way in which we currently obtain services from traditional public utility services such as water, electricity, gas, and telephony. Cloud computing has been coined as an umbrella term to describe a category of sophisticated on-demand computing services initially offered by commercial providers, such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. It denotes a model on which a computing infrastructure is viewed as a “cloud,” from which businesses and individuals access applications from anywhere in the world on demand [2].

  • Cloud Management & Automation: Vmware, Inc
    CLOUD MANAGEMENT AND AUTOMATION Delivering the Enterprise Cloud Console Tools for cloud management and automation are poised to become the ‘assembly line’ for integrated cloud services. CLOUDSCAPE KEY FINDINGS • ‘Service integration’ is the new game in town. IT services firms refocusing on this space (as opposed to ‘systems integration’) are turning themselves into software shops, and will require significant cloud management and automation expertise to compete. There will be important partner/M&A exit opportunities for companies that can demonstrate leadership here. • Successful best-execution-venue (BEV) strategies will mean owning and operating fewer assets, while at the same time integrating additional hosted resources. Cloud management and automation tools will be key to the functioning of these complex, dynamic arrangements. • 451 Research survey data finds the cloud moving into the delta of assessment and planning, which means the creation of vendor consideration lists will become tactical actions by end users. Cloud management and automation will be critical to the success of cloud deployment infrastructure over its lifecycle. • Cloud management and automation tools provide the ability to deliver the consumer- technology experience to enterprises: self-service, on-demand, pay-per-use. Consumer technology has set a high bar, and the consumerization of IT is one of the most important developments that organizations can leverage to ensure that IT is successful – i.e., that it is well accepted and used.

  • Cloud Platform Solutions Buyers Guide
    2015 Cloud Platform Solutions Buyers Guide Includes a Category Overview; the Top 10 Questions to Ask; Plus a Reference Directory of the Leading 28 Providers for Enterprise Cloud Platforms-as-a-Service Solutions INTRODUCTION: The teenage years of this millennium will be known as the era when the enterprise finally grew up, technologically. And like a growing teenager, businesses today are both fascinated and frightened by the dramatic changes happening to all of their bits (and bytes). The enterprise is in the midst of a rapid and unnerving growth in mobility and data. The old, insular model for developing “in house” solutions is giving way to a more open and experimental distributed approach. For the past decade “cloud computing” has been gaining traction with businesses primarily through the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application model. From the widespread adoption of mission critical systems like Customer Relationship Management (CRM), systems delivered through a cloud-based application, the enterprise and many of its younger technical employees have become comfortable with cloud services. Now the opportunity is present for an even larger leap to the cloud. In addition to SaaS, three other cloud models have emerged for consideration: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) – which provides access to hardware, network and physical resources; Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) – which focuses mostly on mobile application back ends; and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) – which provides a more comprehensive stack of solutions including databases, operating systems, development tools and middleware. Let’s get it out of the way, Cloud Platform is an oxymoron – literally and figuratively.
