Ericsson defines the cloud evolution
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Ericsson Cloud System: a comprehensive solution for the distribution and
orchestration of cloud capabilities horizontally across the network,
enabling new vertical exposure opportunities. Builds on industry-leading
concepts of Network-enabled Cloud and Service Provider SDN
* The solution includes the Ericsson Cloud Execution Environment - an open,
distributed platform based on OpenStack and KVM (Kernel-based Virtual
Machine) and the Ericsson Cloud Manager for end-to-end orchestration
* The solution leverages the Ericsson Blade System (EBS) and the Ericsson
Smart Service Router (SSR)(.)
* Systematic implementation of end-to-end elasticity across network, compute
and storage assets that enables the delivery of new services and business
models
Mobile networks have evolved through 2G, 3G and Long Term Evolution. As mobility
becomes part of the mainstream digital lifestyle, the next step is for the
network to be the vehicle of cloud evolution. With an increasing focus on
quality of experience among smartphone users, and with operators looking for new
revenue, today's networks and the cloud need to evolve in parallel. Cloud
services need to be distributed and networks -- including computing and storage
capabilities -- need to be elastic on an end-to-end basis. This combination will
bring a new set of capabilities that doesn't exist today.
In response to this evolving need, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) introduces the
Ericsson Cloud System. This revolutionary cloud solution enables carriers and
service providers to grasp market opportunities by enabling end-to-end
elasticity using network assets. It enables distributed cloud capabilities such
as computing and storage capabilities in the network, resulting in a better
experience when using cloud applications, and more efficient utilization of
network resources.
The Ericsson Cloud System includes the Ericsson Cloud Manager, which offers new
features in terms of management and operation across the entire network, while
supporting carrier-grade performance.
The Ericsson Cloud System includes the Ericsson Cloud Execution Environment,
which is based on OpenStack Cloud Management and KVM hypervisor. The solution is
an addition to the existing OSS system, the Ericsson Cloud Manager. It offers a
smooth migration as it builds on the Ericsson Blade System and Ericsson SSR and
it allows virtualized and non-virtualized applications to execute side-by-side
with maintained carrier-grade performance. The system provides an execution
environment for applications irrespective of the source - whether it's Ericsson,
the operator, a partner or other innovators. This makes it possible to introduce
new services and consolidate existing ones onto the same virtualized platform.
Magnus Furustam, Vice President and Head of Product Area Core and IMS at
Ericsson, says: "We protect existing operator investments when introducing new
technologies. We implement cloud-enabled networks by evolving what operators
already have in the field.
We do this by using established telecom platforms - such as EBS and SSR - and
integrating them with new software in a way that ensures carrier-grade
performance, while introducing a platform for new partners. This systematic
implementation of end-to-end elasticity across network, computing and storage
assets enables the delivery of new services and business models and is what we
call Cloud Evolution."
The Ericsson Cloud System will be available on the market in Q1, 2014. Ericsson
will showcase the solution at Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona from
February 25-28.
During Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona, Ericsson showcases its combined
technology and services leadership for the Information and Communications
Technology industry. Our solutions deliver superior network performance in the
field, enable complete customer experience management, simplify and automate
operations workflows thereby leading to operational excellence. We show how the
Networked Society comes to life - what it will mean for the industry and how it
will enable our customers to capture growth opportunities.
