Abstract
The IT industry is investing in technologies to support the transition from distributed dedicated IT infrastructure to a centralized hosted cloud computing service. The promises of cloud computing includes the reduction for IT capital costs, access to dynamically scalable server resources and infinite storage capacity. For many businesses this transition has not been successful, as connectivity to the cloud has dramatically limited the capabilities of a cloud service offering. Utilizing best effort Internet for cloud connectivity has had a negative impact on application responses and bring into question the security of corporate information. To address these challenges investment are being made into a new class of connectivity services, namely Carrier Ethernet. This technical talk will review some of the key communication technologies that have been developed to enable a reliable and secure transition to cloud computing services.
