!AARNet’s Services Plan: Shop-front • AARNet’s “above-the-net” service delivery strategy – Collaborating via Global NREN CEO Forum on delivery of global services – Network Centric Services: potentially including Video Conferencing, SIP-based Real-Time Comm’s, Mobility, Customer Info services, “Cloud” services. Data already – Cloudstor+
• AARNet interested in all services behind a single shop-front. (OCþ ) – Shop-front provides for sharing information between services, also branding, cross-marketing, etc.
• By their nature these services should be “group-aware” or more generally “authorisation rights aware”. (OCþ)
• E.g. ‘one-click’ Video Conference scheduling for an entire team, SIP-based comms registration for team-based comms, limiting access to commercially sensitive info via customer info service.
