Cloud Computing Subcommittee
Cloud Computing Subcommittee charter:
Inform TIA standards committees and policy
groups of the need for interoperability standards
related to cloud computing
Increase participation by cloud experts
Introduce cloud computing organizations into
TIA standards development process
Cloud Standards Interoperability
TR-42 Telecommunications Cabling Systems
TR-42.1 updating TIA-942 to add support for
o very large data centers
o containerized data centers that are utilized by some
cloud data center service providers
o higher speed network protocols used for cloud
computing
o Security for data center cabling
TR-42.7 initiated new project to develop next
generation balanced cabling for data
transmission higher than 10Gbps
Cloud Standards Interoperability
TR-42 Telecommunications Cabling Systems
TR-42.11 developed polarity schemes that use
multi-fiber array connectors that will support 40
and 100 gigabit systems which will be used for
cloud computing systems.
TR-42.21 developed standards for fiber suitable
for manufacturing OM4 cabling which is
specified by IEEE 802.3 for Ethernet and INCITS
T11 for Fibre Channel, two applications critical to
cloud computing.
Cloud Standards Interoperability
TR-45 Mobile and Personal Communications
System Standards
 Potential focus on cloud access by smart
devices, energy efficiency, lawful intercept and
mobility
TR-48 Vehicular Telematics
 Potential focus on addressing improvements to
the interoperability of varying platforms and
systems
Cloud Standards Interoperability
TR-50 Smart Device Communications
 Potential focus on M2M between cloudprovisioned servers in a public, private, or hybrid
cloud data center setup
TR-51 Smart Utility Networks
 Potential focus on network agnostic standards
interoperating with an IP network suitable for
enabling access to cloud computing
infrastructure for data storage, management and
processing.
Cloud Issues in CCSC
Proliferation of cloud standards results in many
cloud definitions
But still leaves many standards gaps
End User View into Cloud
Reliability/SLA
Security
Lawful intercept

Native vs Virtualized Redundancy
Downtime across a redundant pair is primarily driven by…
Critical failure rate of software is likely to be similar…
Redundant Pair
Except there may be more (possibly less reliable)
hardware and software in the critical path…
Failure coverage likely to be similar…
Active
Failure detection latency likely to be similar…
Switchover latency likely to be similar…
Redundant
Switchover success probability likely to be similar
Redundant
Redundant
Cloud makes greater redundancy feasible,
including aggressive compute redundancy
architectures where each request is simultaneously
sent to multiple server instances and client selects
first successful, quorum, or other strategy, thereby
boosting service availability
Benefits of Georedundancy
To improve service availability via
(geo)redundant data centers, failures in
primary data center must be detected,
isolated and recovered faster to
georedundant data center than they would
be locally
To get significant service availability
improvement, detection, isolation and
georedundant recovery must be automatic
and (very…) fast
Cloud Security
Coordinate with Cloud Security Alliance on
telecom related security aspects
Investigate lawful intercept issues based on
TIA’s prior joint standards efforts
Data Center Security (current)
•
•
•
•
Telecommunications cabling for data centers shall not be routed through spaces
accessible by the public or by other tenants of the building unless the cables are in
enclosed conduit or other secure pathways. Any maintenance holes, pull boxes, and
splice boxes shall be equipped with a lock.
Telecommunications entrance cabling for data centers should not be routed through a
common equipment room (CER). Any maintenance holes on building property or under
control of the data center owner should be 1624 locked and monitored by the data center
security system using a camera, remote alarm or both.
Access to pull boxes for data center cabling (entrance cabling or cabling between portions
of the data center) that are located in public spaces or shared tenant spaces should be
controlled. The pull boxes should also be monitored by the data center security system
using a camera, remote alarm or both. Any splice boxes for data center cabling that are
located in public spaces or shared tenant spaces should be locked and monitored by the
data center security system using a camera, remote alarm or both.
Entrance to utility tunnels used for telecommunications entrance rooms and other data
center cabling should be locked. If the tunnels are used by multiple tenants or cannot be
locked, telecommunications cabling for data centers shall be in solid metallic conduit or
other secure pathway.
