2012 Cloud Networking Report

Jim Metzler, Ashton Metzler & Associates
Distinguished Research Fellow and Co-Founder
Webtorials Analyst Division

The 2012 Cloud Networking Report will be published both in its entirety and in a serial fashion.

As pointed out in this publication, the phrase cloud networking refers to the LAN, WAN and management functionality that must be in place to enable cloud computing. In order for the report to intelligently describe the networking challenges that are associated with enabling cloud computing, this publication will identify what cloud computing is today and will also describe how cloud computing is likely to evolve in the near term.

Publications will focus on the key components of a cloud network: The Emergence of Cloud Computing and Cloud Networking, Data Center LANs, WANs, and Network Management. Given the growing interest in the topic, there will also be a separate section on Software Defined Networks.
