Cloud computing definition & Services
 Cloud computing: paradigm for enabling network access to a
scalable and elastic pool of shareable physical or virtual
resources with on-demand self-service provisioning and
administration
NOTE – Examples or resources include servers, operating systems, networking,
software, and storage equipment.
 Cloud service:

Software as a Service (SaaS):
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):
Platform as a Service (PaaS):
Communications as a Service (CaaS): real time com
Compute as a Service (CompaaS):
Data Storage as a Service (DSaaS):
Network as a Service (NaaS)

Cloud Deployment models & Characteristics
 Deployment Model: way in which cloud computing can be
organized based on control of physical or virtual resources and how
those resources are shared
 public cloud
 private cloud
 community cloud
 hybrid cloud
 Main Characteristics
 On-demand self-service
 Broad network access
 Multi-tenancy (multiple tenants with an isolated
computations and data resources)
 Resource pooling
 Rapid elasticity and scalability
 Measured Service (usage based)

Main Cloud Layers and functions
 Access layer:
 Access Control
 Services layer:
 Service Orchestration: is the process of deploying and
managing “Cloud Services“
 Cloud Services: provides instances (and composition)
of CaaS, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS & NaaS
 Resources & Network Layer:
 Pooling Virtualization: compute, storage, network,
software & platform assets
 Physical resources
 Cross Layers
 OSS/BSS, Security
 Integration , Development

ITU-T: Focus Group Cloud Computing
(June 2010-Dec 2011)
 Focus Group on Cloud Computing has completed its
study into cloud computing’s and has released its Technical
Report in Seven Parts:
1) Introduction to the cloud ecosystem: definitions,
taxonomies, use cases and high-level requirements
2) Functional requirements and reference architecture
3) Requirements and framework architecture of cloud
infrastructure
Tech
4) Cloud resource management gap analysis
Report
5) Cloud security
6) Overview of SDOs involved in cloud computing
7) Cloud computing benefits from telecommunication and
ICT perspectives
