Network Function Virtualization over Cloud-Cloud Computing as Business Continuity Solution

Cloud computing provides resources by using virtualization technology and a pay-as-you-go cost model. Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is a concept, which promises to grant network operators the required flexibility to quickly develop and provision new network functions and services, which can be hosted in the cloud. However, cloud computing is subject to failures which emphasizes the need to address user’s availability requirements. Availability refers to the cloud uptime and the cloud capability to operate continuously. Providing highly available services in cloud computing is essential for maintaining customer confidence and satisfaction and preventing revenue losses. Different techniques can be implemented to increase the system’s availability and assure business continuity. This chapter covers cloud computing as business continuity solution and cloud service availability. This chapter also covers the causes of service unavailability and the impact due to service unavailability. Further, this chapter covers various ways to achieve the required cloud service availability

ICT Book Aspect Case Study

LD 6 is our “Generalized Colleague”, a Leading Designer specialized in computer and communication system hardware, and pioneering/emerging/novel ICT application projects, in particular those intended for computer control systems, especially for the electric power industry. He assumed that the pioneers of the computing industry, of the best results in computer hardware, software and application projects should have the best results in defining and investigating the technological as well as off-technology (not technological aspects) of the computer development around the world. The Ld 6 is the nickname of the Leading Designer who devised an ICT book (Book 1) to disclose the impacts of the technological and off-technology aspects upon the ICT development in the countries similar to Hungary and Poland that were the most successful East Europe (Comecon) Countries developing ICT by their own and meeting the requirements of the general human culture, i.e. the ICT honest design and development. The history of writing the Book and publishing it is the subject matter of our paper (This paper). The publishing process of our Book was, generally and unfortunately, similar to rather popular of the ICT rather technology transfer process when the citizens of the technology beneficiary countries are treated similarly to the Ld 6, the basic complex hero of this paper

Quality of service in information technology

The Information Technologies and Telecommunications industries in last decade went through dynamic development motivated by mobility, wireless technologies and miniaturization. The future of Information Technologies will be driven by ubiquitous computerization, Telecommunications infrastructures and Management Information Systems. While, the future of Telecommunications industry will be driven by five major drives for prosperity starting with the Differentiated Networks, Health Informatics, Advanced Television, Sensors Networks and Ubiquitous Computing. The world today is driven by the information exchange providing support for the national and global cooperation. The supporting telecommunications infrastructures are becoming more complex providing the platform for the user driven real-time applications over the large geographical distances. The essential decisions made concerning the national economy, health, education, business, national security and defense, depend on the Quality of Service provision in current and future Telecommunications and Data Networks infrastructures. The continuous increase in the complexity and the heterogeneity of Telecommunications infrastructures will require new assessment methods of QoS provision that are capable of addressing all engineering and social issues with much faster speeds. Speed and accessibility to any information at any time from anywhere will create global communications infrastructures with great performance bottlenecks that may put in danger human lives, power supplies, national transport, economy and security. Regardless of the technology supporting the information flows, the final verdict on the QoS is made by the end user. The users' perception of telecommunications' network infrastructure QoS provision is critical to the successful business management operation of any organization. This habilitation work with author's selected research publications presented in the habilitation thesis contribute to the field of Information Technology and Computing industry, while presenting the importance of the QoS provision and methodologies to assess the QoS provision in light of user's perception. The habilitation work discusses the important issues related to middleware technologies such as CORBA, TINA, Multimedia Technologies, as well as issues related to QoS provision in the current and future Internet and Telecommunications Industries. In addition, author's selected articles present a cost effective methodology to assess the user's perception of QoS provision utilizing the existing Staffordshire University Network by adding a component of measurement to the existing model presented by Walker. The methodology offers a cost effective approach to assess the QoS provision within the University campus network, which could be easily adapted to any transport, logistics or management organization in the world.
