Recommendation ITU-T Y.3510 provides requirements for cloud computing infrastructure; these include the essential capabilities for processing, storage and networking resources, as well as the capabilities of resource abstraction and control.
The physical machine is a type of computing machine to provide physical resources. Since all cloud services have to reside and operate on physical machines, it is important for the cloud service providers as well as for the manufacturers to identify specific functional requirements of the physical machine.
Recommendation ITU-T Y.3507 provides an introduction to the physical machine including the physical machine components, physical machine types, virtualizations in the physical machine as well as the scalability of components in the physical machine.
In addition, this Recommendation provides functional requirements for the physical machine derived from various use cases described in Appendix II. The relationship with other related specifications developed in other Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) has is introduced in Appendix I.
Cloud service brokerage is a service that arbitrates, delivers, and manages cloud services provided by cloud service providers for cloud service customers.
This Recommendation provides functional requirements of cloud service brokerage. To provide functional requirements for the cloud service brokerage, this Recommendation specifies the overview including service model and configuration of the cloud service brokerage. Various use cases are also identified to derive the functional requirements.
This Recommendation provides overview and functional requirements of data storage federation. Data storage federation provides a single virtual volume from multiple data sources in heterogeneous storages. In this Recommendation, configuration for logical components, and ecosystem of data storage federation as well as cloud computing based data storage federation are introduced for data storage federation. Functional requirements are derived from use cases.
Recommendation ITU-T Y.3504 describes Desktop as a Service (DaaS) functions and functional architecture for DaaS. This Recommendation also describes the relationship between the DaaS functional architecture and the cloud computing reference architecture.
Cloud computing is a paradigm for enabling network access to a scalable and elastic pool of shareable physical or virtual resources with self-service provisioning and administration on demand. See Rec. ITU-T Y.3500 | ISO/IEC 17788. The CCRA presented in this Recommendation | International Standard provides an architectural framework that is effective for describing the cloud computing roles, sub-roles, cloud computing activities, cross-cutting aspects, as well as the functional architecture and functional components of cloud computing.
Cloud computing is a paradigm for enabling network access to a scalable and elastic pool of shareable physical or virtual resources with self-service provisioning and administration on-demand. The cloud computing paradigm is composed of key characteristics, cloud computing roles and activities, cloud capabilities types and cloud service categories, cloud deployment models and cloud computing cross cutting aspects.
This Recommendation | International Standard provides an overview of cloud computing, and defines related terms.
The terms and definitions provided in this Recommendation | International Standard:
– cover commonly used terms and definitions in cloud computing standards;
– will not cover all terms and definitions used in cloud computing standards; and
– do not preclude the definition of additional terms for use in cloud computing standards.
This Recommendation specifies a framework of trusted inter-cloud computing and relevant use cases. It provides general requirements for trusted inter-cloud and specific ones related to governance, management, resiliency, security and confidentiality of trusted inter-cloud. The inter-cloud computing concept is based on the relationship (pattern) among multiple cloud service providers (CSPs). This pattern (peering, federation or intermediary) allows the CSP to interwork with one or more peer CSPs to assure intermediation and security of services provided by these CSPs.
Standardization in the areas of Cloud Computing and Distributed Platforms including:
SC 38 serves as the focus, proponent, and systems integration entity on Cloud Computing, Distributed Platforms, and the application of these technologies. SC 38 provides guidance to JTC 1, IEC, ISO and other entities developing standards in these areas.
The present document specifies the requirements that Telecommunications operations put on Network Functions Virtualisation in order to consolidate network equipment, belonging to fixed and mobile networks, onto industry standard high volume servers, switches and storage, which could be located in N-PoPs, Network Nodes and in end user premises.
The present document addresses the requirements in the following areas:
The present document addresses the requirements to facilitate the assignment of infrastructure resources to virtual network functions. Specific NFV requirements will focus primarily on the differences introduced by the Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) process, and not on aspects of the Network Functions (NF) interfaces, protocols and management that are identical whether the implementation is physical or virtual.
