Cloud/SDN in Service Provider Networks 
Dr. Marcus Brunner,
Head of Standardization, Swisscom 


The cloud paradigm is so far applied to IT as a Service type models for providing IT services at various levels of the stack. Due to its benefits that paradigm should also be possible to apply to network functions. The world-wide operators have joined together to develop that paradigm called Network Function Virtualization (NfV). This talk will give an overview of the NFV and its connection with cloud, SDN, and open innovation.

Dr. Marcus Brunner is Head of Standardization in Swisscom and part of the Swisscom Group Strategy and Innovation department. He got a Ph.D. from ETH Zurich in 2000, and worked for NEC in Heidelberg researching in SDN and developing the NEC's SDN product portfolio. Aside from the involvement in different national and international projects, his primary research interests include network architectures (fixed and mobile), IT/Network convergence, programmability in networks, network and service management. He is a leading member of the global networking and network management research community chairing various Organization and Technical Program Committees of major networking and network management conferences. Finally, he was chair of the IEEE committee on cloud networking. He published over 60 research papers in international conferences and various standards contributions for various organizations and holds around 30 patents and patents pending.


Open Cloud Day 2013

Cloud Computing gewinnt immer mehr an Bedeutung und Gewicht. Damit die 
gesamten Möglichkeiten ausgeschöpft werden können, sollten Clouds nach
den Prinzipen der Open Cloud Initiatve aufgebaut werden.
Das Ziel des Anlasses ist es offene Clouds und die Interoperabilität von Clouds
zu verbessern. Speziell werden die Anforderungen der öffentlichen Verwaltung sowie 
von KMUs berücksichtigt. In speziellen Vorträgen wird der Bereich GovCloud vertieft.
Der Anlass legt gewicht auf konkrete, praxisnahe Beispiele. 
Die Konferenz baut auf dem erfolgreichen Open Cloud Day von 2012 auf.
