Mobile Cloud Networking

Mobile Cloud Networking Thomas Michael Bohnert Technical and Scientific Coordinator

Motivation

Cloud Computing disrupts IT consumption and operations • On-Demand, Self-Service, Elasticity, Pay-as-you-Go, Remote Access • Infrastructure- Platform- Software-as-a-Service (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS) • Huge economic potential, CAPEX and OPEX dimension Cloud Computing Status Quo • Dominated by US-based companies • «elastic on-demand compute and storage» • Datacenter- and IT-centric Cloud Computing and the Mobile Telco Industry • Opportunity => Top-level Objective of MobileCloud

Dimensions

Scenario 1: Using the Cloud Scenario 2: Extending the Cloud


Value Proposition – Lower OPEX versus New Business Scenario 1: Using the Cloud ● Exploiting Cloud Computing for Mobile Network Operations ● Reduction of OPEX ● Run mobile core network services on top of Cloud Computing principles ● From HW-SW bundles to COTS and economies of scale ● Distributed Mobile Network (RAN+CORE) architecture ● Better QoS/QoE Scenario 2: Extending the Cloud ● The End-To-End Mobile Cloud ● New MobileCloud services ● New revenue streams ● On-demand, elastic, and metered ● Network + Compute + Storage services (XaaS) ● RANasS, EPCaaS, IMSaaS, CDNaaS, DSSaaS ● On-demand and elastic content / storage / application distribution services, ● End-to-End MobileCloud Service Orchestration ● MobileCloud AAA, SLA, Monitoring, Rating, and Charging compliant with XaaS ● Follow-me Cloud © 2012-2015 MCN.
