Inter-Cloud Service Management

Examining the role of TM Forum frameworks, network abstraction layers, enterprise service architectures, and standards from SDOs such as MEF, in the deployment of future inter-cloud services.

 
Business Proposition

Being able to manage services between clouds will be critically important. Cloud service providers need ability to partition networks into slices, and handoff to customers. Enterprises need tools to manage on-demand cloud services.


TM Forum Standards in Use
for Development

  • Information Framework – using a common model to support multi-service deployments with federated services
  • Product and Service Assembly – assemble from existing products and components via service-based context
  • Integration Framework – supports coordination of complex architectures and services

Customer Champion Quote
“Cisco’s Catalyst demonstrates how key services can be built on an architected network service model to ensure that delivery through a cloud model anticipates both catastrophic failure and load scenarios, and seamlessly addresses those circumstances without visible impact to the customer or their quality of service. Using an architected approach, Cisco illustrates how applying an integration framework and leveraging open standards and partner applications through a product and service assembly approach results in a rapid, reliable and scalable service enablement and service management capability for a key voice service with robust continuity support.”
