  1. CloudEthernet Forum Overview May 2013

  2. Cloud Services Market Growth • Enterprises and consumers around the globe need increasing amounts of on-demand cloud compute and storage capacity • Cloud service providers need to minimize complexity of scaling and rapid redistribution of VMs and storage to meet performance, cost and regulation compliance objectives

  3. Cloud Services Scaling Challenges • Ethernet is the fundamental networking technology used in the backplane, racks, between racks and site interconnects BUT • Current layer 2 technology approaches do not yet effectively support increasingly large and geographically dispersed VM and storage environments • Orchestration layer to support very large VM environments dependent on increasingly complex L2/L3 interactions

  4. Stakeholders in Scaling Cloud Services • A range of companies need to work together effectively to address technological issues of scaling cloud service infrastructures • Data Center Providers • WAN Service Providers • System Integrators • Network Equipment Manufacturers • Cloud Service Providers

  5. CloudEthernet Forum is an industry forum that brings together relevant stakeholders to work towards maximizing the use of Ethernet to meet the evolving needs of cloud service users over the coming decade

  6. Forum Activities • Technical • Identify required technical work • Develop specifications and implementation agreements • Marketing • Promote technical solutions developed by the Forum • Operations • Identify required business processes • Develop recommended best practices

  7. CloudEthernet Forum Founders • Alcatel-Lucent • Avaya • Citrix • Equinix • HP • Huawei • Juniper • PCCW Global • Spirent • Tata Communications • Verizon

  8. Close Collaboration with MEF • Forums’ synergy results from common focus on using Ethernet to enable global scaling of digital services • CloudEthernet Forum part of the MEF legal entity using identical bylaws and IPR • Reduced CloudEthernet Forum membership fees for MEF members and vice versa • MEF-provisioned member services enable rapid scaling of CloudEthernet Forum work

  9. First Forum Activities • Launch • Ethernet Summit – May 22nd, 2013 • Publish • Problem Statement White Paper • Use Cases • Technical Committee Setup • VLAN exhaustion in pure L2 networks • BUM-related performance degradation • Inter-relationship between orchestration layer and disposition of assets
