Fotonica 2011 is the 13th Italian National Conference of Photonic Technologies. The Conference is the meeting place of the Italian Photonic Community where the most advanced achievements of research in photonics are presented and discussed. The Conference covers all aspect of photonics, with a particular emphasis on applications, in line with the contents of the European Technology Platform Photonics21. Fotonica 2011 will devote one of its plenary sessions to the Terabit/s Transport Networks to address the why, where and how of this major challenge of the optical networks evolution. Key international players will discuss the topic offering the different perspectives of the users, the service and the technology providers.

The GEYSERS Project was presented by P. Donadio

The Cloud computing emerges as a new computing paradigm which aims to provide secure and reliable, on demand QoS guaranteed computing environments for the endusers. Cloud computing services usage in both academia and industry, changed the way of thinking on how users’ needs can be satisfied by computational infrastructures. However, with the increase of data transferred among different places, it became critical how to support distributed computing resources with advanced network infrastructure services. It is envisioned that network infrastructure services provisioned on-demand could be managed and reconfigured dynamically by Cloud operators and user applications to achieve optimal usage criteria. Such dynamic infrastructures reveal new aspects in network virtualization, service delivery automation and general infrastructure resources management that should be supported by well-defined information models and related middleware. New components of the required network infrastructure for Cloud services and applications should create an integrated self-management environment that can react to changes in workloads and other events with minimal human interference. Security issues should addressed as a part of the general service delivery framework/workflow and  support both infrastructure provisioning process and secure virtualised services/infrastructures operation.

The workshop will discuss issues of optical network virtualisation to create internal distributed datacenter network infrastructure and provide dedicated inter-cloud network connectivity on-demand.

Bartosz Belter will chair the workshop as a GEYSERS representative.
