10 THINGS about CLOUD COMPUTING (EBOOK)

10 THINGS about CLOUD COMPUTING (EBOOK)
Delivering real-time, carrier-grade cloud services is the next frontier for service providers. Reaching this frontier calls for a better class of cloud — the carrier cloud.
The carrier cloud brings the superior performance, availability and reliability of the service provider’s network to the cloud. Service providers’ customers can enjoy all of the business benefits of cloud services, but with the performance, low latency and service level agreement (SLA) guarantees that are lacking in most of today’s public cloud services. Today, most service providers are dealing with complex operations, long lead times to deliver new services and capacity planning challenges that can lead to over-provisioned services. Nothing is simple. Nothing happens quickly. Huge hardware requirements and the need for extensive field support teams make it challenging to keep capital and operational expenditures (CAPEX and OPEX) down. Moving to a carrier cloud allows service providers to evolve from today’s monolithic service delivery environment to a distributed, agile and dynamic environment where all services are delivered from a single platform.
While moving to the carrier cloud brings many benefits, delivering real-time, carrier-grade cloud services also requires new capabilities. Now service providers need to:

• Incorporate resources from multiple locations into the cloud. Service providers’ distributed footprint        will help them bring cloud services much closer to customers to reduce latency and increase performance. But they need to manage dozens of distributed clouds as if they were one and optimize placement of services that might reside in 12 data centers at once. They also need to onboard new applications while ensuring services remain at five nines availability. Meeting these needs requires new algorithms for network abstraction to manage, distribute and scale cloud resources.    

• Satisfy requirements for security- and performance-sensitive cloud services. Service providers need        the ability to dynamically adapt cloud services to meet specialized requirements. Complicated        applications must automatically scale and heal. Optimization and yield management must be        ensured. Meeting these needs requires a holistic view of both network conditions and server        resources.     

• Develop new and profitable business models. To compete against traditional public cloud providers,        service providers need to launch new cloud services every few weeks. And they need to let        customers know about new services. Meeting these needs requires an agile platform for launching        new services quickly and efficiently.
The carrier cloud is all about delivering a better experience. Today, if people buy public cloud services, they are responsible for the applications. But once real-time systems such as a CDN, an IMS, or the control plane of a wireless network are put into the cloud, experience is everything. Did a video stall? Was a call dropped? To deliver real-time, carrier-grade services with a consistently great experience, service providers must own the experience from the application down.Download the EBook here

13 Places You Should Visit In before the end of 2013

  Wikimedia Commons It's more than halfway through 2013 and even though the summer is winding down, there's still plenty of time to book a trip to a great destination. We looked at major developments, cultural trends, and global festivals to find the hottest places to travel around the world in 2013. There are vast untouched landscapes that offer incredible outdoor experiences, cities that are experiencing a cultural rebirth, and up-and-coming destinations that offer great deals and few tourists. London, England Since Kate Middleton gave birth to Prince George Alexander Louis last week , England has been in the national spotlight, and is expecting a tourism boost. But that's not the only reason to visit the UK right now. The 2012 Summer Olympics in London came and went, but many of the buildings, restaurants, hotels and venues that sprouted up to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of visitors who came for the Olympics still stand. Several new building...

Samsung reportedly close to releasing Glass competitor — and Google’s involved

This one is definitely a rumor, but its source is reliable enough to warrant a little speculation. Analyst and blogger  Eldar Murtazin  tweeted a rather definite message this week that Samsung is “developing [its] own version of Google Glass. We will see it (probably) around April – May under Gear Glass brand.” Given that Google’s own version of Glass is not expected to hit the mass market until early 2014, Samsung’s Glass competitor could very well race Google’s to market. That might seem like a nightmare for Google, which has invested heavily in Glass and is no doubt planning for a strong event launch, but as was pointed out in a CNet article, the use of the word “Glass” implies an official partnership. Samsung is known for its aggressive branding and Google would likely raise legal concerns regardless, so it’s unlikely the brand Gear Glass would be used without a partnership. Does Google even want to sell Glass, or does it just want you wearing face-screens? ...
