Presentation Transcript

  1. Cloud Computing Cheryl Blum VP, Technology and Standards TIA

  2. Overview of Activity • Recent Activities • Creation of Cloud Computing Task Force to explore and study the technology and identify standardization opportunities • Release of TIA Cloud Computing White Paper summarizing and identifying work initiatives for several TIA committees • Establishment of Cloud Computing Subcommittee which hosts monthly calls to coordinate TIA’s cloud computing-related initiatives

  3. Strategic Direction • Liaisons & Partnerships • Establish working partnerships with other SDOs and industry consortia focused on cloud computing • Bridging the Virtual to the Physical • Much of the hype surrounding cloud computing resides at the virtual layer but the physical infrastructure is equally important • Coordination with cloud service providers • Demonstrate the benefits of standards-based data centers that support cloud computing; determine proven CSP practices to transfer to standards

  4. Strategic Direction • Focus on interoperability between TIA standards (M2M, telecom, data centers, healthcare, security) and Cloud standards • Revise or provide addendums to existing TIA standards to support cloud adoption (942-A-1 is a good example) • Continue to make the CCSC a hub for collaboration and information sharing amongst TIA members and engineering committee participants interested in cloud computing

  5. Challenges • Coordinating with cloud service providers • Developing industry relationships with major cloud service providers • Focus on interoperability between TIA standards (M2M, telecom, data centers, healthcare, security) and Cloud standards • Fragmented standards for M2M, healthcare, and security; TIA is currently working to develop industry-led standards for these technologies, however cloud interoperability has yet to be addressed in the work plans of various TIA committees

  6. Next Steps / Actions • Pursue liaison relationships with other SDOs and consortia that align with TIA’s strategic direction • Develop outreach via blogs, articles, and speaking opportunities to discuss the significance of standards-based physical infrastructure in support of cloud computing • Utilize existing relationships with equipment manufacturers and TIA engineering committee participants to develop relationships with cloud service providers • Monitor the development of cloud standards and both continue to work on existing engineering committee work-items as well as introduce new items related to cloud computing

  7. Supplementary Slides

  8. TIA Standards and Outreach Related to Cloud Computing • TIA Cloud Computing White Paper • http://www.tiaonline.org/standards/TIA_Cloud_Computing_White_Paper.pdf • Release of ANSI/TIA-942-A-1, Cabling Guidelines for Data Center Fabrics Addendum, which specifies telecommunications cabling guidelines for newer switch fabric architectures that support cloud computing • Press release: http://www.tiaonline.org/news-media/press-releases/tia-issues-new-telecommunications-infrastructure-standard-data-center • Article “Ensure Cloud Uptime with Common Standards for Data Center Designs” • http://searchcloudprovider.techtarget.com/tip/Ensure-cloud-uptime-with-common-standards-for-data-center-designs
