Cloud Brokerage Perspective
Networks are an important asset of NREN’s: leverage towards cloud providers by combining network access with connecting services:
go for the package deal
Especially relevant with regard to IaaS providers: charge significantly for data transfer (e.g. Amazon)
SURF Vendor Management will take this up with various IaaS providers: let’s share experiences!

Connecting Cloud Providers: use cases
• Fast & low-cost IP connectivity between cloud providers and our customers:
• Document sharing
• Video platforms
• Mailfiltering
• Et cetera
• Dedicated P-t-P connections between cloud providers and our customers, requiring high bandwidth and/or security
• Storage, back-up
• SIP
• Genomics datasets
• Etc…
• Customer infra in cloud datacenters:
• Outsourcing ICT
• Outsourcing housing / co-location
SURFnet - We make innovation work

Connecting Service Providers: options
- Fast & affordable IP connectivity with our customers:• AMS-IX peering• Private peering• Content provider connection• Standard Internet (baseline scenario)
- Dedicated P-t-P connections (drivers: bandwidth & security):• NetherLight
- Customer infra in datacenter • Additional connection in datacenter

SURFinternet: AMS-IX
Scenario: a service provider (e.g. Blackboard) wants to provide services to our customers.
• Efficient use of upstream capacity
• Both the SP and SURFnet are connected to AMS-IX.• Peering on AMS-IX is realized.
• Costs: € 0,=

SURFinternet: Content provider connection
Scenario: a service provider provides videoconferencing services to our customers. A high-capacity connection is required.
• Performance is important, high capacity required.
• Service provider realizes connection to one of our PoP’s and connects on a dedicated port.
• IP traffic may only be routed towards institutes connected to SURFnet• Connection may only be used for connecting services.
• Cost: € 1900,= /month (charged to SP)

SURFinternet: Via standard Internet (baseline scenario)
Scenario: a service provider delivers webhosting services to our customers.
• Performance & capacity are ‘good enough’• Traffic volumes are moderate and hence impact on upstream traffic is low
• Standard internet connectivity via SURFnet’s existing AMS-IX peers or upstream providers
• Costs: € 0,=
Why not?

At what cost?

Lightpaths: NetherLight
Scenario: a service provider offers storage services to SURFnet connected institutions.
• Guaranteed bandwidth, low latency crucial for performance.• Services should act as virtual part of the infrastructure of the customer.• One-on-one relation between customer and service provider.
• Service provider connects to NetherLight. SP can be reached by means of lightpaths by one or more SURFnet connected institutions.
• Cost: 1G: €500/month, 10G: €1200/month (charged at SP)
+ tariff lightpath to NetherLight (charged at institution)

Connecting Cloud Services via NetherLight

Core values NetherLight
• SURFnet facilitates interconnects on a global scale between R&E networks, international carriers and (cloud) service providers.
• SURFnet strives to use cutting-edge networking technology.
• SURFnet promotes competition and innovation and hence supports an open connection policy (anyone can connect) and imposes no use policies with regard to the traffic on the interconnects.
• SURFnet actively contributes to international connections with other networks, preferably using Open Exchanges in order to enhance higher education and research purposes.
NetherLight …
• Is an international exchange point for (OnDemand) lightpaths for the exchange and distribution of scientific data
and
• Functions as a ‘market place’ where service providers are encouraged to offer their services to our customers
and
• Could become a ‘market place’ where service providers are encouraged to connect services targeted to your customers as well

Housing in Datacenter: Additional connection
Scenario: a service provider provides housing services to an institution connected to SURFnet. Rackspace is offered in a datacenter
• Guaranteed bandwidth, latency is crucial.• Services should act as part of institution’s infra domain.• Location selected by customer i.c.w service provider.• One-on-one relation between customer and service provider.
• Connection is realized for customer in datacenter. At this new PoP both IP and lightpaths can be provisioned.
• Cost: € 2500,= /month + tariff for lightpath (customer is charged)

At what cost?
Next steps
• Various NREN’s have initiated ‘cloud brokerage’:• How do we organize exchange of experience?• How can we leverage advantages of collaboration
within our community (scale, standards etc)?• Should TF-MSP function as an ‘umbrella’?
