The GEYSERS project met in Zurich for its first General Assembly. One year on track, good progress, first results.<\/p>\n
GEYERS is a project worth to keep an eye on. A strong technical vision aims at bringing together the IT and Telco world with a clean architecture for „Telco+IT“ fulfillment (Connectivity, Storage, Computing in a Service-oriented Design). <\/p>\n
At first sight this is not fundamentally new. Yet GEYSERS definition goes beyond pure Telco-based (GMPLS) provisioning with some (GRID-like) IT resources at edges plus some Web-Service interfaces. <\/p>\n
By defining an SML-layer, that is based on Service-oriented Infrastructure concepts, IT-standards, and SLA-based service composition and orchestration, GEYSERS reference architecture turns into a complete Infrastructure-as-a-Service framework for public\/private Cloud Computing with a IT-northbound \/ Telco-southbound interface. All this based on accepted concepts and respective open standards in the IT plus Telco domain.<\/p>\n
