Green Sustainable Telco Cloud

Bringing cloud computing from the Internet domain to Next Generation Networks (NGN) in order to
provide Telco cloud services will leverage the use of NGN, reduce costs and create many value-added
services. It is therefore becoming critical for world-class carriers, like Bell and Telus, to adopt a cloudbased
communications model. However, unlike public Internet clouds, a Telco cloud has specific
requirements, such as performance, scalability, security and isolation. The CANARIE GreenStar
Network (GSN), led by Mohamed Cheriet, recently became the first network in the world to be
powered entirely by renewable energy. The proposed project will evolve the GSN platform and will
address challenges in building interoperable elastic cloud services that are green and sustainable, by
designing open and scalable clouds with environmental control features that optimize workload,
energy consumption and GHG emissions. Unlike most of the server-centric public Internet cloud
solutions, the proposed model will be network-centric and target the telecommunications industry. The…tobecont’d….
