Cloud computing

Recommendation ITU-T M.3371 defines the general and functional management requirements that support service management in a cloud-aware telecommunication management system (see Recommendation ITU-T M.3070) and provides a functional framework for service management in a cloud-aware telecommunication management system.

Recommendation ITU-T M.3372 introduces a functional framework and functional requirements for resource management in cloud-aware telecommunication management systems. It provides the composition of the functional framework and the functions of each component in the framework. In this Recommendation, the general background and status of cloud computing management are also analysed. The benefit of introducing a functional framework and functional requirements for resource management in cloud-aware telecommunication management systems is also explained.

In accordance with the functional reference architecture of cloud computing that was defined in Recommendation ITU-T Y.3502, Recommendation ITU-T Q.3914 specifies the functional reference architecture of cloud computing according to Recommendation ITU-T Y.3500. This Recommendation provides a set of parameters that indicate the status and event of a cloud computing system, including resource layer, service layer and access layer.
