The Cloud Services Forum (CSF) promotes the integration of cloud technologies and network infrastructure to realize the significant benefits of cloud, by:
- Developing standards to enable the network to do more than it does today (e.g., expanding product offerings including services on demand, accelerating time-to-market, lowering costs, minimizing complexity, increasing scalability);
- Focusing on the creation of reusable Service Enablers to progress each phase of work; and
- Creating technical solutions in support of a global marketplace to help Service Providers realize cloud’s full potential.
CSF’s Current Initiatives:
- Develop video service specifications as a component of a unified communications framework (e.g., telepresence, mobile).
- Progress the next phase of Content Distribution Network- Interconnection (CDN-I) focusing on multicast-based content delivery to mobile end-user devices.
CSF’s value to the industry related to efforts to progress a telepresence interoperability solution is differentiated by the following:
- Creation of the first industry platform for cloud interoperability;
- Development of solutions created with reusable Service Enablers to progress each phase of work in support of business-driven objectives;
- Building solutions in support of the broader continuum of video services;
- Identifying functional requirements will be identified to enhance interoperability and the user experience; and
- Creating a marketplace facilitating supplier and service provider connection.
CSF’s Completed Initiatives:
- Advanced a Trusted Information Exchange solution to address the directory, routing, privacy and accessibility implications associated with personal contact information resident in mobile devices.
- Developed the next phase of Content Distribution Network- Interconnection (CDN-I) with Release 3 – building on initial use cases to address more complicated models and additional content types.
- Defined virtual desktop functional requirements to take advantage of cloud resources to reduce management costs and support any-device, any-network access to desktops by end-users.
