Recommendation to Read on Cloud Computing


Cloud Computing Definition

2010-07-06

“Cloud computing is a model for enabling con-venient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and re-leased with minimal management effort or ser-vice provider interaction.”

ITU-T FG CloudTerms of References for FG Cloud (con’t)• FG Objective

– The objective of the Focus Group is to collect and document information and con-cepts that would be helpful for developing Recommendations to support cloud computing services/applications from a telecommunication/ICT perspective.

• Specific tasks and deliverables– Benefits of cloud computing from telecommunication/ICT perspectives– Gap analysis of ITU-T standards for telecommunication/ICT to support cloud com-

puting– Collect and summarize vision and value propositions of cloud computing with a fo-

cus on telecommunication/ICT aspects– Leverage expertise within the ITU-T in building telecom networks to take advantage

of cloud concepts and capabilities– Terminology and taxonomy and to develop new definition when necessary– Analysis of telecommunication/ICT networking requirements functions and capabili-

ties to support cloud computing services/applications (for both fixed and mobile)– Use cases of services and reference models for telecommunication/ICT to support

cloud computing– Roadmap to guide further developments of relevant ITU-T Recommendations.
