 Cloud Computing
Definition

Cloud computing is 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.

 Operator drivers
for cloud Transformation

1. Separation of SW/HW to avoid current vendor-lock in and increase flexibility

2. To address new services with reduced TTM
– Easier to launch new services
3. Expected OPEX reductions
– Automation of processes
– Improvements for SW validation and upgrade processes
– Pooling of HW, energy consumption, HW maintenance
4. Expected CAPEX reductions
– Expectations in HW cost reductions
– Site strategy aspects, leveraging existing sites versus centralization
