Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.

Abstract (eng): Cloud computing technology is growing rapidly in the market providing elasticity, virtualization and most importantly cost savings to the computing industry.
Today, telecom operators especially MVNOs face challenges such as reduction of ARPU, need of differentiations and competition from all fronts of software industry.
Cloud provides major opportunities to telecom operators to reduce their operational costs, drive new differentiations and be active in cloud ecosystem.
Telecom operators can take advantages of cloud by selling the cloud offerings to their customers by using already established infrastructure as well as by using cloud to deploy their own software systems to reduce operational costs.

In this research, the techno-economic analysis has been carried out to analyse implementation of telecom systems on cloud in Business Support Systems domain.
The research focuses on application mapping strategy required and financial cost benefits gained for MVNOs if their systems are implemented on cloud.
The thesis research involves Delphi method based study in which expert interviews are conducted in two rounds to get expert views on the subject.
The responses and related analyses are drawn while introducing a proof-of-concept hybrid cloud architecture to implement MVNO systems.
An innovative solution of billing-as a-service on cloud is discussed in the thesis as well.
The implications and future prospects are presented evaluating the thesis results.
In the end, conclusion is derived to summarize the thesis research.

In summary, most of the MVNO systems are viable candidates for cloud implementation and significant benefits can be achieved.
Cloud will help MVNOs to make transition from CAPEX to OPEX based model while reducing OPEX and gaining other advantages like economy of scale, SaaS based solutions, lower time to-market, enhanced performance etc.
There are certain implications related to data security, availability and government regulations which can impose difficulties on MVNO systems while moving them to the cloud.
However, the future of cloud in telecom industry seems bright with emergence of everything-as-a-service model.
