Ericsson's Network-enabled Cloud meets needs of the Networked Society
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Ericsson announces its Network-enabled Cloud concept, a business platform
that enables operators to drive new revenues and evolve network capabilities
* The Network-Enabled Cloud builds on computing power in today's telecom
assets to both embed enhanced functionality and to expose network
capabilities for new service creation
* Ericsson takes a 5C approach to the Network-enabled Cloud: connect, control,
compute, create and customize
Consumers, enterprises and society in general are increasingly becoming
networked, driven by smart connected devices, broadband networks and cloud-based
services. Quality of experience, new revenue models and optimal usage of
computing resources are a necessity to serve these needs in an efficient manner.
To meet these needs and continuously build and sustain the Networked Society,
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) is developing the concept of a Network-enabled Cloud. It
is Ericsson's comprehensive effort to simultaneously evolve cloud computing and
telecom network technologies.
In an Ericsson business user study, 78 percent of the respondents say they work
more efficiently when they have access to mobile broadband and 92 percent say
they need access to mobile broadband everywhere.
Ericsson's Network-enabled Cloud builds on and combines today's telecom assets
and delivers dramatically improved quality of experience, new business
opportunities, faster time-to-market and reduced cost for operators. In this
way, it is creating a platform for innovation that will help realize the
Networked Society.
Ericsson's executives will outline the thinking and use cases of the Network-
enabled Cloud at the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2012).
Hans Vestberg, President and CEO of Ericsson, says: "The Network-enabled Cloud
provides a roadmap for the evolution of today's telecom business by addressing
the need for new business opportunities while leveraging telecom operators' core
capabilities."
Ericsson takes a 5C approach to the Network-enabled Cloud:
Connect: Anytime, anywhere connectivity and a high-quality experience thanks to
high-quality, high-capacity networks
Control: Efficient operations through integrated management of networks and the
cloud for reliable service-level agreement (SLA) implementation
Compute: Embedded capabilities that can be activated dynamically thanks to high-
performance, telecom-grade infrastructure
Create: Unified communications, enterprise software as a service, service
enablement and accelerated business growth through the facilitation of rapid
service creation
Customize: Architect, build, optimize and operate complete professional
services.
Development of the Network-enabled Cloud will progress in several parallel
flows. One starting point is today's emerging content delivery networks, which
benefit from Ericsson's approach to cloud acceleration. Another starting point
is for operators to dedicate one or more telecom-grade cloud data center(s) to
enhancing the level of quality and security for the applications they offer,
such as unified communications and enterprise applications.
In recent years, Ericsson has assembled a unique set of capabilities and
experiences by delivering a variety of solutions and services to the market, all
connected to the 5C cloud strategy, including:
Connect
* 50% of the world's smartphone traffic goes through Ericsson network
* Mobile Cloud Acceleration in partnership with Akamai
Control
* 800 Operations Support Systems
* Charging & Billing solutions serving 1.6 billion users
Compute
* Unparalleled footprint in mobile network nodes, from core network to RAN,
forming the basis for a future conversion to embedded cloud-computing nodes
in the Network-Enabled Cloud
Create
* Device Connection Platform for M2M communication
* In-game communications for an enhanced gaming experience based on improved
voice communication
* Service Delivery Platform and Composition Engine for Service Enablement
* mCommerce Interconnect to link mWallet companies to operators
* An array of enterprise offerings to help operators build an as-a-Service
business
* Business Communication Suite for unified communications
* Visual Communications HD video collaboration
* PC-as-a-Service; a PC in the cloud
* Cooperation with salesforce.com in CRM systems
Customize
* 900 million subscribers in Ericsson managed networks
* Consolidation of data centers for operators with several customer references
Ericsson will also deliver an integrated Cloud and Network Management suite that
facilitates the end-to-end implementation of SLAs resulting from service
exposure through application programming interfaces (APIs). An early version of
this unique capability is on display at our stand in Hall 6.
