Cloud Services Forum (CSF)

Launched in 2011, ATIS’ Cloud Services Forum (CSF) focuses on the operators' provision of cloud, and the development of a framework to build large-scale, high quality network and application services. CSF develops cloud-based standard interfaces, to core network functions, further enhancing the value of carrier networks. Additionally, based on industry priorities, the CSF is developing business use cases for non-traditional carrier services, with the goal of accelerating global inter-carrier cloud capabilities.

CSF is now finalizing its Content Distribution Networks Interconnection (CDN-I) Release 2 that focuses on multicast-based content delivery, cloud services charging and federated CDN-I. This follows CSF’s first CDN-I Use Case Specifications report from June 2011 and is part of ATIS’ effort to fast-track progress on several priority issues surrounding cloud services. Additionally, CSF’s experience in developing standards supporting content delivery requests has enabled ATIS to provide significant input to other industry groups undertaking an initial foray into the indentification of CDN-I use cases and requirements.

Inter-carrier telepresence is an ATIS priority, and CSF plans to validate an implementation model and publish standards by early 2012.

CSF will also publish virtual desktop initiative requirements for enterprise services and use case specifications for utilizing VPN networks as the common control point for end-to-end services on interconnected data center resources.
