SCOPE Members Discuss Virtualization in Cloud Computing 

Virtualization in the cloud was a hot topic during SCOPE’s most recent workshop—“Cloud Computing in Telecom.” Two executive presenters discussed the usefulness of virtualization in the cloud, gaps in current virtualization solutions, and manageability and economic advantages of using virtualization in cloud computing.  

How is virtualization useful in the cloud?

* It provides unprecedented performance and manageability of IT resources.

* It is a key enabler for rapid deployment, resource sharing, easy capacity adjustment and efficient hardware utilization.

* It enables software to run regardless of the type of physical hardware being used.

* It allows the packaging of portable appliances that allow for easy deployment.

Workshop attendees had the opportunity to gain a new perspective on cloud computing while engaging in lively discussion with NEP/operator/service industry thought leaders. (See workshop recap and list of presenters here).

SCOPE Alliance plans to host several informative workshops like this each year. These workshops provide opportunity for open, focused discussions among members and help set direction for future SCOPE Alliance work. Workshops are open to SCOPE members only.
