THE FUTURE ‘CLOUD ISP’
Skeeve Stevens Network Architect / Near Futurist
COMMSDAY 2014
![Page 2: The Cloud ISP](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a8673f1a28ab04408b483b/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT? • My Journey • The Future of ISP Infrastructure (for some) • Virtual X-Connect Fabrics • Cloudification • Conceptual
![Page 3: The Cloud ISP](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a8673f1a28ab04408b483b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
WHAT I DO • Design, Build and Operate the networks of ISPs,
Datacentres, Enterprises, Governments, Banks in 10 countries
• Constantly figuring out new ways to creatively use network infrastructure, products and technologies to disrupt the marketplace
• Get my buzz from helping the small guys compete against the big guys – costing YOU millions
• It’s not personal… you just move too slowly and charge too much
![Page 4: The Cloud ISP](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a8673f1a28ab04408b483b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
HOW I GOT HERE • At Uni. Of Melb in 89-90 when the Internet was turned on • Worked with the first non-Telstra ISPs in the mid 90’s
• Built Pre-Broadband ISPs using Dialup, ISDN, Frame Relay • Built Techex - one of the first partners of RequestDSL • Built UnitedIP - one of the first aggregator ISPs using Optus
XYZed, Uecomm, iBurst, RequestDSL, Nextep & Connect.com.au with Telstra via other parties
• Built over 300 boutique/vertically focused Service Providers
![Page 5: The Cloud ISP](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a8673f1a28ab04408b483b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
CONCEPT: THE CLOUD ISP • No, Not a Cloud Provider • Not a reseller • Not the old term ‘VISP’ • A REAL, multi-carrier, self managed, elastic
infrastructure, Internet Service Provider • Almost doable – 6-18 months
![Page 6: The Cloud ISP](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a8673f1a28ab04408b483b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
WHY DO THIS? • Rapid deployment of ISP environments i.e. OTT player • No Hardware/Licensing delays • No equipment failures • Scalable capacity without hardware upgrades • Highly redundant – Multi-cloud, regions and AZs • Minimise business risk – no capex • Elastic Infrastructure – pay only for what you need,
when you need it • Global reach and possibilities • Replicatable – i.e. copy/paste in Singapore
![Page 7: The Cloud ISP](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a8673f1a28ab04408b483b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
THE PARTS - Now and in the next 18 months
• Vendors: Cisco, A10, Juniper, Brocade • LNS: Cisco CSR1000v • CGN: A10 vThunder CGN • Firewalls: Cisco vASA, Juniper Firefly (vSRX) • Cloud Providers: AWS, Azure, Softlayer, Google
Compute, Cisco InterCloud, … more coming • VxC Fabrics: Megaport, IXA, Pacnet (PEN), Equinix
Cloud Exchange, Nextgen (coming?!) • Datacentre X-Connects
![Page 8: The Cloud ISP](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a8673f1a28ab04408b483b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• IP Transit – Backup paths, Diverse On-Demand capacity • Metro Access Tails – xDSL, Fibre, MetroE, anything layer 2 or
L2TP • International Ethernet Circuits or IPVPN – NTT, Pacnet, Optus,
Telstra, TATA, China Telecom – directly/in-directly • VoIP - SIP Trunks, Hosted • DDoS Protection-aaS / CleanFeed – i.e. Micron21 • Firewall-aaS - Appliances • Remote Access-aaS (VPN) - Appliances • Load Balancing-aaS – Appliances • Wholesale Value-Add – Streaming, Gaming, Business Services
WHAT CAN/COULD I BUY? (For ISPs)
![Page 9: The Cloud ISP](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a8673f1a28ab04408b483b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
X-CONNECTS ARE EVERYTHING Virtual (VxC) • Megaport is one of the best examples • MegaDirect to get to anyone who isn’t on Megaport • It’s possible to use MegaDirect to bridge to other VxC Fabrics
– or in the future perhaps interconnects between Fabrics • IX Australia now offering VxCs, Equinix coming Brokering • Creating VxCs between two end-points on VxC Fabrics like
Megaport, IX Australia and others • Creating XCs between two racks inside DCs – possible with
Equinix today – checking with others, managed DC’s only • Allows non-infrastructure guys to play

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

• If you’re not selling via VxC Fabrics, your competition will be
• Ease of migration from you to someone else – and back
• Hardware vendors will move to VxC Fabrics – storage, etc.
• You can ignore it, but others are already servicing the market
• They will still buy your tails, but all your VA profit will disappear
• Enterprises are starting to buy wholesale ISP services directly
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
![Page 14: The Cloud ISP](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a8673f1a28ab04408b483b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Machine Images still coming – many more needed
• Licensing from Vendors could be nicer
• Cloud Provider internal networking still needs developing
• Inter-connection pricing for data needs to be improved
• Terminology is a pain
• Figure it out yourself
WHAT DOESN’T WORK …YET
![Page 15: The Cloud ISP](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/55a8673f1a28ab04408b483b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
THE NEXT 24 MONTHS • Cloud ISPs. Rapidly deployed full service ISPs
• More VxC Fabrics, on demand and fast (more 100Gb)
• Marketplaces develop, bidding for infrastructure
• A LOT more wholesale product offerings with Value-add products making all the difference
• Fabric Inter-Connections
