Commons is what we share •  “Creations […] that

belong to all of us equally, and should be preserved and maintained” onthecommons.org/commons-glossary

•  “resources that are collectively owned or shared between or among populations” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_commons

“GÉANT 2020” is the European communications commons where talent anywhere is able to collaborate with their peers around the world and to have instantaneous and unlimited access to any resource for knowledge creation, innovation and learning, unconstrained by the barriers of the pre-digital world.

GÉANT 2020 as Commons

••• 12

•  talent as ultimate economic resource

•  talent anywhere, talent from anywhere –  “GÉANT 2020 is rooted in

values of equality, solidarity and freedom which are held in high regard by Europeans”.

•  globally around the world

“GÉANT 2020” is the European communications commons where talent anywhere is able to collaborate with their peers around the world and to have instantaneous and unlimited access to any resource for knowledge creation, innovation and learning, unconstrained by the barriers of the pre-digital world.

GÉANT 2020 for Talent

••• 13

•  a common enabling infrastructure for European research and education

•  a collaboration platform for knowledge communities

•  an environment for knowledge creation, innovation and learning

•  a transformative digital ecosystem

Goals that Fulfil the Vision

••• 16

 Interoperability  lock-in risks  portability of data

 Privacy & Legal  where is my data? whose law applies? who can access it? do I comply with data privacy regulations?

 Governance, control  no control of licensing terms, use of legacy applications

 Security, Dependability  data, outages

 ...

Cloud Computing Challenges

••• 17

 eIRG white papers; eInfranet workshop  VENUS-C and StratusLab as initial

deployments to evaluate potential of clouds

 Deployment of clouds and virtualisation technologies in EGI? (focus of EGI Technical Forum)

 SIENA: European roadmap on grid and cloud standards for eScience

 European Cloud Computing Initiative

Cloud Computing for Science

How will clouds affect existing e-Infrastructures? How to deploy? What level (Institution/nation/EU/community…)? What business model? What relation to industry? How can the “market weight” of e-Science be used?
