Office on Demand: New cloud service platform for carrier

We propose a novel cloud service platform "Office on Demand" (OOD) and its architecture. OOD functions as a cloud service marketplace targeted mainly for small and medium businesses (SMBs) with the needs to quickly prepare an ICT infrastructure for their business, to use network services without a complex configuration setup, and to use mobile terminal devices as fixed terminal devices. We also propose "Hybrid Office Gateway" (HOG), a user side device for OOD, which will give users accessibility to OOD without any complex network settings after subscribing to the fiber-optic network service onto which OOD is built. We have developed an architecture for OOD that can provide "Communication as a Service" (CaaS) + "Software as a Service" (SaaS)" based service for SMBs through cooperation with HOG, and implemented a prototype to examine and evaluate the architecture.
