Crossing Borders with OpenStack

A new era for Telecom

Chet GoldingPrincipal Cloud Architect Zefflin

Introduction

My name is Chet Golding. I’m a Principal Cloud Architect at Zefflin Systems.

I’ll keep this intro short so if you’d like to know more about me see the following links:

I have worked with a few of the Telecom’s in the US and abroad on projects where OpenStack was and is a key component.

Strategic, and Technical architecture from small to very large scales (5 servers to 325,000 servers.)

IaaS, PaaS and SaaS product roadmap, selection and POCs into production.

Vendor integration alliances related to OpenStack integrations in Telecom Cloud

Crossing Borders

What borders? Territorial – the ones on a map, engaging people. Technological – Products that do and don’t play well together.

Building Alliances, Invention, and Visions. Economic – OpenStack plays well in the enterprises of larger,

medium and small countries. You can run it at home. Social – organic global teams solving common problems

Enabling people through open technology. Developers world wide are provided with frameworks to collaborate across the globe developing more complex applications faster and with less effort.

Delivering Amazing things.

A cloud of People, Places and Things

Consider(See data references at the end of the deck.)

A Telecom’s users are world wide. That is our civilization. The number of Cell Phone in Population:

Approximately 6.8 billion cell phones are in use world wide.

In the US up to 90% of American adults owned a cell by Jan 2014, and as many as 42% may have owned a tablet computer.

Ericsson report predicts 9.2 billion cell subscriptions by end 2019

Other emerging trends Cluster computing cell phones are edging toward reality. DroidCluster moving compute from backend to the mobile

device presented at PhoneCom in 2012. Shared memory distributed computing and MIT’s DIPLOMA BOINC on google play: distributed compute model via cell

phones

Isn’t everything a mobile app?(Millions, no Billions of people don’t know the difference.)

A new era(The phone company is a cloud company.)

OpenStack is helping Telecoms transform their industry, why? Proven to be a foundation of cloud operations with elastic and durable

private, public and hybrid models. Operates with other industry adopted products like VMWare or RedHat Is supported and provided as distributions from major vendors Available globally.

The app on a cell isn’t just an app but one that uses the cloud to provide the user experience across borders anywhere on the planet.

Telecom adds compliance, security and provides for public safety. The greatest challenges arise from a need to make these experiences look

simple to the customer. OpenStack helps provide all of these things at the velocity of cloud to

deliver at the velocity of changing technology the Telecom must provide and make it look easy.

Is this cool?(We’re not in the failure business. We’re in the communication business.)

We talk to people in other countries as never before. We access data, enjoy art, spread news, and share our

photos and feelings.

People all over the planet make calls across borders because people live on the other side.

Cell users are Children from 5 to 85 (or more) they have to be easy, pleasing and dependable.

Telecommunications is for people.

Telecom needs to “just work” the way lifting a handset off a hook resulted in dial tone in years past

If it works, we get to be human.

Goals and Critical MassesSupported by a Global Community of Platforms and Services

Scale of Civilization(More food for thought.)

• Where are we today? • Designing for Servers, market segments, or civilization?

Servers Stacks Apps Segments Cities Countries Civilizations

Reaching Goals and Opportunities(How much of this is happening now?)

Mobile Global First – Transform the Cloud Open Standards for Cloud Development of all mobile OS platforms via virtual

machines – IOS, Android, WinOS, Mozilla and so on. The cloud is in your pocket – one location, all your data, all your apps, all you –

100% backed up worldwide. Go anywhere and we won’t forget you. All Cell towers and cell phones hosting data – vast CDN Communication resources – 100% pay as you use, emergency grace – we got your

back Location as a Service – Be anywhere, GPS anywhere, view anywhere, search where

you are, etc. Claim as a customer – “My data is everywhere.” 3G, 4G and beyond – speed and raw availability. Business continuity – like air. Make it zero cost, default – sorry we won’t do it

wrong any longer. Automatic data replication Automatic silent system migration – if region fails, sorry but your server just

didn’t go down – we’re not in the failure business

Project Evangelism(This is a good idea. Promote it.)

People have awesome ideas They do need the tool chains at their finger tips [now] They do need wealth of knowledge We desperately need critical mass

Lets foster personal growth Support OpenStack Support Open Source global development, education, and access

We are best suited to make all this happen when we work together Crossing Borders with OpenStack

The Telecom is delivering on this today
