4. Easiest way to develop and deploy applications
• Self-service, on-demand, when I want
• Elastic: scaling to meet demand
• Scale up and scale down
• Leverage simple API’s and automated requiring little or
no manual intervention
• Abstracted resources hide the complexity of lower level
implementations
• Move towards continuous deploy

5. • Apps are built from components
• Common components built as services for applications
become the platform for scalable deployment
• Massive storage systems
• Scalable, reliable queuing systems
• Large scale NoSQL databases (Cassandra)
• Frameworks for massive analytics (Hadoop)
• Auto-scaling frameworks
• Result:
• Focus on the application logic, leveraging the work of others
• Time-to-market advantage of new apps and services

Quantum Service
• Network abstraction definition and management
• Does NOT do any actual implementation of
abstraction
Quantum Plug-in API
Vendor/User Plug-In
• Maps abstraction to implementation on physical network
• Can provide additional features through API extensions
