Sustainability Factors Sustainability Factors (1/2) (1/2)

• Sustainability depends on active endorsement of diverse user

diverse user Sustainability depends on active endorsement of diverse user diverse user communities communities (beyond ICT researchers)

• Users

Users need to understand (and appreciate) the benefits and ( pp ) economic incentives in using multifaceted FI experimental platforms

• Priorities, requirements and budgetary constraints of users

need to guide planners/providers planners/providers of FI experimental l tf ( f i dl i t f li i f platforms (e.g. user‐friendly open interfaces, policies for reproducibility of experiments)

Sustainability Factors (2/2) Sustainability Factors (2/2)

• FI experimental platforms should attract users by developing –

deploying user friendly tools, based on efficient resource efficient resource allocation algorithms allocation algorithms (e g Virtual Network Embedding) allocation algorithms allocation algorithms (e.g. Virtual Network Embedding), monitoring schemes monitoring schemes (slice and substrate oriented) and novel novel information models information models (e.g. ontologies assisting users to locate ( g g g and compose virtualized resources in a distributed FI environment)

• Operational costs

Operational costs should be assured, required for seamless infrastructure support (and hardware – software upgrades)

• Well defined SLAs

SLAs and broadly acceptable pricing models pricing models are required, in line with legacy Service Provider practices
