DEUTSCHE TELEKOM OPEN TELEKOM CLOUDPOWERED BY HUAWEI FUSIONSPHEREThe First Large Scale, Multi-national OpenStack-basedPublic Cloud in Europe
EXECUTIVE SUMMARYAccording to Gartner, Inc., the worldwide public cloud servicesmarket is projected to grow 17.2 percent in 2016 to total 208.6 billion, up from 178 billion in 2015. The highestgrowth will come from cloud system infrastructure services(infrastructure as a service [IaaS]), which is projected to grow42.8 percent in 2016. [1]It is undeniable that public cloud IaaS offerings are rapidlygaining acceptance among enterprises as a replacementor compliment to existing on-premises hardware for ITinfrastructures. While big US public cloud service providers arethe ones which have initiated and grown public cloud services,they face challenges in expanding their market outside ofUS, especially in Europe due to data sovereignty and securityissues. We are seeing a trend that telecommunication serviceproviders such as Deutsche Telekom and other first tier orsecond tier telcos outside of US are starting to provide IaaS tocompliment and to add value to their existing telecom services.Enterprise customers would prefer to use a telco operatedpublic cloud service provider due to the reasons of security,cost, convenience, localization, and trust.Open source has been a significant trend in ICT innovation.OpenStack, an open source cloud operating platform, hasachieved tremendous success and adoption in the developer,user, and vendor communities. Both Huawei and DeutscheTelekom are strong supporters and contributors in OpenStack,and are using OpenStack as one of the core technologies fortheir ICT innovation.Deutsche Telekom and Huawei have formed a partnershipto build and to operate the first large scale, multi-nationalOpenStack-based public cloud in Europe - Open TelekomCloud, launched in March 2016, initially focusing on theEuropean market, with the plan of going global in the future.Based on OpenStack, Open Telekom Cloud enables userand developer organizations to use cloud services for theirinnovative R&D and business needs and avoid vendor lock-in. Italso meets the European legal requirements for IT operations,e.g. data protection and other compliance issues.T-Systems (the global IT services and consulting arm ofDeutsche Telekom) operates Open Telekom Cloud in twoavailability zones (AZ) at data centers in Magdeburg and Biere.1.

This enables Huawei FusionSphere tosupport all hypervisors and software and hardware productsthat are certified on OpenStack. In addition, Huawei addedOpenStack expansions to improve the performance,reliability, availability, security, ease-of-use, compatibility,automation, and management of OpenStack for itscustomers' commercial use. All the expansions andenhancements are implemented based on the native OpenStackplug-ins/drivers. There are no changes made in the OpenStacktrunk code. Drivers of other vendors' hardware can be easilyintegrated into Huawei's FusionSphere. This ensures the integrityof OpenStack core platform within Huawei FusionSphere whileproviding Huawei's customers a production ready, enterprisegrade, cloud platform. In addition, FusionSphere offers a rich setof north bound APIs that includes a set of standard OpenStackAPIs which are fully compatible with the OpenStack tenantservice interfaces, as well as FusionSphere added APIs improvingthe management of a large, multi-resource pool and the easeof-use for application developers.THE FUSIONSPHERE ADVANTAGES:Mobility, Cloud, Social, and Internet of Things are rapidlyblurring the boundaries between telecommunication and IT. Weare experiencing the height of ICT convergence in data centers.Huawei FusionSphere differentiates itself from otherOpenStack based cloud operating systems in the area ofICT support:1. "Enterprise Ready" Server Virtualization Reduced Latency - FusionSphere hypervisor is built withthe technology to improve communication performanceof virtual machines (VMs) by 1.5 to 3 times, significantlyreducing latency. Higher Performance - FusionSphere's cloud resourcescheduling allocates virtualized resources according the affinitybetween network elements to improve VM performance. Inaddition, a "performance priority" policy is available to ensureDEUTSCHE TELEKOM OPEN TELEKOM CLOUD POWERED BY HUAWEI FUSIONSPHEREThe First Large Scale, Multi-national OpenStack-based Public Cloud in Europe4
that all the VMs for a logical network element (multiple VMsworking together to provide a complete service function)stay close physically in the network topology to guaranteeoptimized latency and throughput between VMs. Our testresults have demonstrated performance improvement ofkey applications such as Oracle database by 20%. With thesame memory resources, the VM density of the FusionSphereplatform increases by 130%, which helps to reduceprocurement costs on memory components by 30%.Higher Reliability - High Availability (HA) and Fault Tolerance(FT) features are built in FusionSphere to include resourceredundancy, fault detection, fault recovery to minimize oreliminate system and application downtime. In addition, a webUI based installation and automatic deployment of the cloudplatform, one-click smooth cloud platform upgrade, one-clickhealth check and system information collection are included tominimize user error and improve overall system reliability.2. Distribute Storage VirtualizationFusionSphere adopts SDS (software defined storage), a stateof-the-art distributed storage system that provides low latency,high performance, scale-out storage capability. FusionSpherevirtualizes various storage systems and enables storageresources to form resource pools, building application-orientedstorage systems with an unified management.In addition, FusionSphere uses an intelligent storage resourcescheduling algorithm to deliver optimal performance andresource utilization. Compared to traditional disk arrays,FusionSphere SDS increases the IOPS of applications by 2 to 3times, improves the throughput by 6 times, reduces the latency5DEUTSCHE TELEKOM OPEN TELEKOM CLOUD POWERED BY HUAWEI FUSIONSPHEREThe First Large Scale, Multi-national OpenStack-based Public Cloud in Europebetween server and storage by 20 percent to 50 percent andexpands the peak I/O bandwidth by 10 times.3. Software Defined NetworkFusionSphere uses an overlayed virtualization networkcomponent that is based on software-defined networking (SDN)and virtual extensible LAN (VxLAN) to construct a full mesh Layer2 network in one, and across multiple data centers, simplifyingapplication development and making resource schedulingflexible. Being aware of topologies and Quality of Service, theSDN controller dynamically selects the correct routing path andadjusts the WAN routing policy and bandwidth among multipledata centers, reducing cross-data-center link bandwidth cost by60 percent to 70 percent on average.Huawei's SDN is directly programmable, agile, centrally managed,programmatically configured, based on open standards and isvendor neutral. Its differentiated offerings are DC-SDN, DCI-SDN,WAN-SDN, and Policy-SDN.4. SecurityFusionSphere is a cloud platform that is hardened for securityin responding to the security risks and threats of cloud, suchas security threats from external networks (IP attacks, OS andsoftware vulnerabilities, virus, SQL injection, phising, zero-dayattacks, etc) and security threats from intranet (worms andviruses are spread through patches and database vulnerabilities,confidential information leaked via unauthorized Internet accessact, unsecured mobile device access, viruses spread via networkapplications, data leakage and virus spreading occur due to thelack of peripheral management, etc).
FUTURE ROADMAPOver time, Huawei and Deutsche Telekom will continue toevolve Open Telekom Cloud in meeting more business customerrequirements and helping customers meet the needs of today'sfast growing digital economy.Huawei will continue to be a significant contributor to OpenStackin providing thought leadership and resources in helping OpenStackgrow into a more "Enterprise ready" and "ICT innovative platform"for developers and users. In addition to OpenStack, Huaweiwill further develop OpenStack enhancements, as part of theFusionSphere offering, in the areas of massive scalability, reliability,performance, disaster recovery, security, bare metal, and containertechnologies to provide Open Telekom Cloud more competitiveadvantages of being a large scale, multi-national public cloud.From the Open Telekom Cloud services side, the relationaldatabase, the cloud container engine, and a high-performanceflavor have been available since release 1.01 (July 2016).Further features will be added to the cloud container engineand the database services in late 2016.
