Specifically, cloud providers have now the enabling technologies to offer \u201cnetwork chains\u201d as a service where customers could require their traffic to go through a\u00a0service chain made out from an ordered sequence of several network functions. In\u00a0this\u00a0context, a\u00a0daunting challenge for cloud providers is to assess the real resource requirements and costs of\u00a0different types of network functions and\u00a0to\u00a0efficiently place the service chain components into the physical infrastructure while\u00a0achieving several conflicting objectives related to performance, service level agreements, scalability,\u00a0and\u00a0revenue. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Times\\ New\\ Roman, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-CA\">In this talk, we will focus on understanding the research challenges related to the provisioning and deployment of network chains as a service in large-scale cloud infrastructures. We will also provide a characterization of\u00a0the\u00a0resource requirements and potential costs of virtual network functions and highlight the key challenges introduced by them. We will then present our recent work towards addressing some of\u00a0these challenges.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>09:00 \u2013 10:00 Speaker: Mohamed Faten Zhani, Ecole de Technologie Sup\u00e9rieure (ETS), Montreal, Canada Biography: Mohamed Faten Zhani is an associate professor with the department of software and\u00a0IT\u00a0engineering at l\u2019\u00c9cole de Technologie Sup\u00e9rieure (\u00c9TS Montreal) in Canada.
