CE Benefits for each Stakeholder • Enterprise Cloud Consumer • Puts Enterprise IT department in control • Meets Enterprise requirements for high performance, secure and controlled access to mission critical cloud applications • Cloud Providers • Enables new Private Cloud business opportunities • Ability to better differentiate cloud service offerings • Ethernet Cloud Carriers • Enables telecoms providers to deliver mission-critical Cloud-based services • Telecoms providers can leverage well-established, trusted relationship with their enterprise subscribers

  8. MEF Definitions and Terminology

  9. MEF Definitions for Cloud Community EVC Ethernet Service Provider A UNI Ethernet Service Provider B UNI ENNI Carrier Ethernet Network Carrier Ethernet Network End User Subscriber Site End User Subscriber Site E-Line EVC ENNI E-LAN E-Tree UNI E-Access

  10. Cloud Definitions for Telecoms Community Community Cloud Private Cloud Public Cloud Hybrid Cloud Ethernet Cloud Carrier Cloud Broker SaaS IaaS PaaS

  11. MEF Augmentation of NIST Definitions

  12. Carrier Ethernet and the Cloud: MEF Focus Areas Current Carrier Ethernet Solutions Data Center Interconnectivity Cloud Service Provider(s) Ethernet Cloud Carrier(s) Cloud Consumer to Cloud Service Provider Cloud Service Provider(s) Ethernet Cloud Carrier(s) Cloud Consumers New work augments MEF service definitions to better address on-demand, elastic requirements of Cloud services

  13. Business Relationships in the Cloud Model Augmentation of U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cloud Broker Definition

  14. Cloud Broker Definition Clarification • NIST Cloud Broker Definition is very generic • Appears to assume only Internet WAN connectivity • MEF augments NIST definition and provides more use cases • Ethernet Cloud Carrier acting as a Cloud Broker • Cloud Service Provider acting as a Cloud Broker • Cloud Broker (pure reseller model)

  15. Ethernet Cloud Carrier acting as a Cloud Broker • Business relationship: Ethernet Cloud Carrier to Cloud Consumer • Ethernet Cloud Carrier wholesales cloud services from Cloud Service Providers • This Cloud Broker analogous to telecom service provider delivering Internet access services • Telecom SP provides network connectivity to customer premises • Telecom SP provides Internet access service like an ISP Cloud Broker Cloud Service Provider(s) wholesale services to Ethernet Cloud Carrier Cloud Consumer Ethernet Cloud Carrier acting as Broker

  16. Cloud Service Provider acting as a Cloud Broker • Business relationship: Cloud Service Provider to Cloud Consumer • Cloud Service Provider wholesales network connectivity from Ethernet Cloud Carrier • This Cloud Broker is analogous to an ISP • ISP wholesales access network connection from incumbent telecoms service provider who owns access lines to the customer premises • ISP provides network connectivity to customer premises and Internet access service Cloud Broker Ethernet Cloud Carrier(s) wholesale services to Cloud Service Provider Cloud Consumer Cloud Service Provider acting as Broker

  17. Cloud Broker (pure reseller model) Ethernet Cloud Carrier(s) wholesale services to Cloud Broker • Business Relationship: Cloud Broker to Cloud Consumer • Cloud Broker wholesales network connectivity from Ethernet Cloud Carrier(s) and cloud services from Cloud Service Provider(s) • This Cloud Broker is analogous to a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) • MVNO sells cellular voice/data services but does not own/operate a cellular wireless network Cloud Consumer Cloud Broker Cloud Service Provider(s) wholesale services to Cloud Broker

  18. Use Cases for MEF Ethernet Services E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree and E-Access Services

  19. MEF E-Line Use Case (Point-to-Point) • Private Cloud, Community Cloud or Hybrid Cloud WAN Solution • Hub UNI at Cloud Service Provider Primary Data Center • Aggregates all EVPL EVCs from Cloud Consumers • Able to add additional Cloud Consumers on same hub UNI • Secondary data center reached through DC-to-DC EPL EVC Internet UNI Hub UNI Ethernet Cloud Carrier UNI Cloud Consumer A Cloud Service Provider Primary Data Center UNI EVPL EVCs Cloud Service Provider Secondary Data Center Cloud Consumer B UNI UNI Cloud Consumer C UNI

  20. MEF E-Tree Use Case (Point-to-Multipoint) • Private Cloud, Community Cloud or Hybrid Cloud WAN Solution • Cloud Consumers can access either data center • Ability to add additional Cloud Consumers to existing EVC • E-Tree EVC Data Exchange Rules • Leaf UNI to Root UNI • Between Root UNIs Internet Leaf UNI Leaf UNI Ethernet Cloud Carrier Cloud Consumer A Root UNI 1 Cloud Service Provider Primary Data Center Cloud Consumer B E-Tree EVC Cloud Service Provider Secondary Data Center Leaf UNI Root UNI 2 Cloud Consumer C Leaf UNI E-Tree facilitates Disaster Recovery and Cloud Bursting

  21. MEF EP-LAN Use Case (Any-to-Any) • Private Cloud WAN Solution • Cloud Consumers can access either data center • Ability to add additional Cloud Consumers to existing EVC • E-LAN EVC Data Exchange Rules • Data exchange between all UNIs Ethernet Cloud Carrier UNI Cloud Consumer Site 1 UNI Cloud Service Provider Primary Data Center UNI CloudConsumer Site 2 E-LAN EVC Cloud Service Provider Secondary Data Center UNI Cloud Consumer Site 3 UNI E-LAN facilitates Disaster Recovery and Cloud Bursting

  22. MEF Access EPL Use Case • ENNI Provides Interconnections for: • Enterprise Sites to connect to Cloud Service Providers • Internet connectivity for Public Cloud services Internet Ethernet Exchange Provider Enterprise Site A UNI UNI UNI Cloud Service Provider Primary Data Center ENNI Access EPLs Enterprise Site B Cloud Service Provider Secondary Data Center UNI UNI UNI Enterprise Site C Ethernet Exchange Provider Enables On-Net Private Cloud Service Delivery through Interconnections at ENNI

  23. New MEF Standards Development On-Demand, Elastic Ethernet Service Attributes

  24. Ethernet Service Attributes being Evaluated to Better Support Cloud Applications • Elastic Ethernet Service Attributes • On-demand change of EVC or UNI attributes for specific time period • Once time period ends, revert back to prior state • Investigating on-demand and reservation models • Example Elastic Attributes • Increase CIR of existing EVC • Add or Remove UNI endpoints in multipoint EVP-LAN or EVP-Tree service • On-demand bandwidth approaches • Based on bandwidth usage (X MBytes/month) • Based on CIR and/or EIR (200 Mbps CIR and 400 Mbps EIR) • Network/Cloud/Subscriber Management Orchestration • End-to-End service management and SLAs

  25. Current Environment Cloud Service Orchestration Customer Portal Customer Portal Ethernet Cloud Carrier OSS / NMS No Correlation between WAN and Data Center Add CPUs and Storage Add WAN BW, CoS, EVC Ethernet Cloud Carrier Cloud Consumer WAN Cloud Service Provider Data Center Network Cloud Consumers order Cloud Services independently from WAN services

  26. Management Orchestration Workflow Customer Portal Cloud Service Orchestration Ethernet Cloud Carrier OSS / NMS Cloud Service + Ethernet Service Orchestration Service Attribute Correlation Add CPUs and Storage Add WAN BW, CoS, EVC Ethernet Cloud Carrier Cloud Consumer Cloud Service Provider Data Center Network Orchestration among the different management systems creates consistent Quality of Experience and better SLAs for Cloud Consumers
