Enterprise Cloud Service Delivery Challenges
• Internet is predominant method of delivering cloud services
• Larger Enterprises hesitant to move mission-critical applications to the cloud when delivered via the Internet
The WAN is critical for cloud service performance (SLAs)
Cloud Service Delivery Challenges over the Internet
• Security Vulnerabilities• Data Governance• Regulatory Compliance• Performance

CE Benefits for each Stakeholder• Cloud Providers
– Enables new Private Cloud business opportunities– Ability to better differentiate cloud service offerings
• Ethernet Cloud Carriers– Enables telecoms providers to deliver mission-critical Cloud-
based services– Telecoms providers can leverage well-established, trusted
relationship with their enterprise subscribers
• Enterprise Cloud Consumer – Puts Enterprise IT department in control– Meets Enterprise requirements for high performance,
secure and controlled access to mission critical applications

MEF Definitions and Terminology

MEF Augmentation of NIST Definitions
NIST Actor MEF Augmented Definition
Ethernet Cloud Carrier
The intermediary that provides Carrier Ethernet connectivity and transport of cloud services from Cloud Service Providers and Cloud Consumers and with other Ethernet Cloud Carriers.
Cloud Broker
An entity that manages the use, performance and delivery of cloud services, and negotiates relationships between Cloud Service Providers, Cloud Consumers and Ethernet Cloud Carriers

Cloud Broker Definition Clarification• NIST Cloud Broker Definition is very generic
– Appears to assume only Internet WAN connectivity
• MEF augments NIST definition and provides more use cases– Ethernet Cloud Carrier acting as a Cloud Broker– Cloud Service Provider acting as a Cloud Broker– Cloud Broker (pure reseller model)
![Page 13: 1 MEF Reference Presentation December 2012 Carrier Ethernet Delivery of Cloud Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516a506550346f6208b4dcb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Ethernet Cloud Carrier Acting as a Cloud Broker
• Business relationship: Ethernet Cloud Carrier to Cloud Consumer– Ethernet Cloud Carrier wholesales cloud services from Cloud Service
Providers• This Cloud Broker analogous to telecom service provider
delivering Internet access services– Telecom SP provides network connectivity to customer premises– Telecom SP provides Internet access service like an ISP

New MEF Standards Development
On-Demand, Elastic Ethernet Service Attributes
![Page 15: 1 MEF Reference Presentation December 2012 Carrier Ethernet Delivery of Cloud Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516a506550346f6208b4dcb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Ethernet Service Attributes being Evaluated to Better Support Cloud Applications
• Elastic Ethernet Service Attributes– On-demand change of EVC or UNI attributes for specific time period
• Once time period ends, revert back to prior state• Investigating on-demand and reservation models
• Example Elastic Attributes– Increase CIR of existing EVC– Add or Remove UNI endpoints in
multipoint EVP-LAN or EVP-Tree service
• On-demand bandwidth approaches– Based on bandwidth usage (X MBytes/month)– Based on CIR and/or EIR (200 Mbps CIR and 400 Mbps EIR)
• Network/Cloud/Subscriber Management Orchestration– End-to-End service management and SLAs

New Work on Cloud ManagementNew Work on Cloud Management
• Management Interface between Cloud Provider / Broker and Ethernet Cloud Carrier to manage elastic aspects of the service– Identify relevant Protocol Neutral MEF 7.x objects (and attributes)– Operational Use Cases and information requirements for Cloud Provider
to Ethernet Cloud Carrier management interface.– Focus on reconfiguration of specific (dynamic) Service Attributes (e.g.,
CIR)– Phase 1 approach: Changes to Service Attributes occur only when
EVC/OVC is inactive or during a Maintenance Interval– Explore scheduled reconfiguration, and configuration durations.– Provide Interface Operational Requirements: Number of changes
allowed over time, lead time for request fulfillment.– Describe SLSs for management interactions (performance metrics)
