Building and maintaining a private/public cloud -- a “hybrid” cloud -- is challenging, especially when multiple “tenants,” representing multiple users, need to securely convey video media, customer data and applications. Beyond that, the migration of cable hubs to “edge clouds” can deliver content to wirelessly connected devices with better latency. This workshop describes the operational and scaling benefits of hybrid clouds for virtualized services and cloud applications.
Comcast’s Neil Kipp kicks it off with details about the hybrid cloud it built for large-scale cable applications. Running in eight regions and spread across three public cloud providers, it manages hundreds of tenants and thousands of users.
Next, Nokia Bell Labs’ Sandeep Katiyar describes a business case for MSO edge content aggregation to meet the needs of mobile services, and to realize new potential revenue for edge caching. In addition, network-deep data centers and clouds for mobile edge compute (MEC), low latency services and deep cache will be discussed.
