Abstract:

It’s a new digital age in information service, traditional architecture detaching cloud and network cannot satisfied the demand of the integrated cloud-network service coming with the booming of the digital economy. As a foundation of new information infrastructure, cloud-network convergence is the inevitable choice of global digitalization and underlying trend in the development of the CT and IT technology. In this paper, we analyzes the background and development trends of cloud-network convergence and the development logic deeply, proposes three characteristics of cloud-network convergence. This paper highlights the cutting-edge technologies in cloud-network convergence research, and explores the development vision of new service, new network, new computing and new control and manaegment. Finally we presents the challenges of cloud-network convergence.

Key words: cloud-network convergence, computing power network, cloud-network operation system, cloud-native network
