In the GN3plus Symposium presentation from October 2013, Christos Argyropoulos of NTUA discusses the critical advancements needed for cloud network capabilities, including dynamic provisioning without human intervention, elasticity, mobility, and multi-tenancy isolation. The session covers requirements for intra- and inter-data center networking, highlighting challenges such as port density and latency while proposing innovative solutions like Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Open Networking Foundation protocols. These innovations are vital in creating efficient, reliable cloud networks that meet evolving demands.

GN3plusWhat the network should do for clouds? Christos Argyropoulos National Technical University of Athens (NTUA)Institute of Communications & Computer SystemsNetwork Management & Optimal Design Lab(NETMODE)(GN3plus - GRNET 3rd Party) GN3plus Symposium, October, 2013, Vienna
Someone asked for.. • Dynamic provisioningNo-human interaction, fast provisioning/deployment • Elasticity • Resource upscaling/downscaling on demand • Mobility/Migration • Rearrangement of resources • Isolation • Sharing of resources in a multi-tenant environment among users (tenants) that are unaware of each other profiles(the ultimate: independence without interference)
Clouds started to deliver..What about networks ? • Need for.. Enhancements.. • Intra – DC (Data Center) networking • Higher Port density • Lower latencies on switchingProgrammable Fabric/Flow forwarding • Software switching inside hypervisors • Inter – DC networking Layer 2 connectivity Multi-tenancy Resource/Service Mobility Use-cases: load-balancing, disaster recovery
