Session Abstract

With the relentless pace of technology, clouds are no longer just for weather forecasters, but engineers as well. When most people hear the term cloud services, they tend to think of consumer applications such as Flickr, YouTube, etc. Yet, these are examples of cloud storage used for content delivery. Meanwhile, Server virtualization is exploding and is getting a lot of attention. A quiet revolution has occurred in cloud computing and server/storage virtualization and broadband networks are the enablers. In this presentation, we will walk you through a traditional storage cloud pilot and how Level3, IBM and ADVA Optical Networks have partnered to offer dynamic cloud services.
