Affects 1,350 DS3 minutes

Affects Special Offices

Affects a 911 facility

Current public clouds could imply 16reports / year / system!

Summary

Todays clouds do not meet carrier-grade SLAs

Vendors, cloud providers, and VM s/w supplierswill need to augment clouds with capabilities thathelp bridge the gap, to create Telco Clouds

Hybrid solutions will be the norm for now,evolving over time as technology progresses

Nokia Siemens Networks has an e2e plan to

deliver such solutions today and into the future
