1 Framework and requirements for cloud computing

Summary

The physical machine is a type of computing machine to provide physical resources. Since all cloud services
have to reside and operate on physical machines, it is important for the cloud service providers as well as for
the manufacturers to identify specific functional requirements of the physical machine.

Recommendation ITU-T Y.3507 provides an introduction to the physical machine including the physical
machine components, physical machine types, virtualizations in the physical machine as well as the scalability
of components in the physical machine.
In addition, this Recommendation provides functional requirements for the physical machine derived from
various use cases described in Appendix II. The relationship with other related specifications developed in
other Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) has is introduced in Appendix I.
