Prevent disruptions in voice and data communications services: IBM and Marist College are testing a new cloud computing.

Here we talk about a new cloud computing innovation that could help prevent disruptions in voice and data communications services caused by natural disasters.

This innovative project captured by Connectikpeople is led by IBM and Marist College.

Which is exciting and encouraging in this cloud computing disaster prevention invention is its capacity to turn re-provisioning time from days to minutes. This means, a data center operator could quickly and simply move data and applications to another data center outside the danger zone in minutes, from a remote location using a tablet or
Smartphone.

Pending to capture the findings of this test soon, Connectikpeople recalls that:

·        IBM’s cloud networking innovation uses software-defined networking (SDN) technology and is being tested in Marist’s SDN Innovation Lab. SDN enables data center operators to more efficiently control data flows within physical and virtual networks.

·        The SDN advancement IBM and Marist are testing will enable an IT professional to remotely access and make changes to network resources via a wireless device and open source network controller developed by Marist.  

·        Marist’s SDN focuses on evaluating new technology, inventions and use cases related to SDN, a foundational technology for cloud computing that enables the dynamic management of network resources through automated software programs.  

IBM announced that, the solution is expected to be commercially available in 2014.
