Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP6

WP ObjectivesIdentifying the interoperation and integration issues between commercial cloud infrastructures and publicly owned pan-European e-infrastructures for technology and policy issues in order to define a roadmap for their integration with commercial cloud computing resources

Specific goalsUnderstanding the interoperation and integration issues around technology and policy between commercial cloud infrastructures and publicly owned e-Infrastructures:

GEANT: a pan-European network for the research and education community built on a federation of EuropeanNational Research and Education Networks (NRENs)EGI: a pan-European federation of resource centres organised into National Grid Initiatives (NGIs)PRACE: a federation of peta-scale and high-end computing centres across EuropeEUDAT: a project exploring the data services and support needed in Europe for the European Research Area

R.8: Common IT service management and assessment framework

In 2013, FedSM published FitSM (www.fitsm.eu)A lightweight IT service management for federated infrastructuresBased on ITIL, CoBIT, ISO20000

Through interoperability workshops, established collaboration with experts from EC-funded FedSM projectHelix Nebula adopted FitSM A dedicated training/certification/implementation workshop was organised in Darmstadt, Jan 2014

ESA flagship was successfully deployed

ATLAS flagship under test


Recommendations from P1 reviewTechnical, legal/organisational and semantic (especially on data) interoperability plan should be thoroughly analysed in the second period

The reviewers point out the importance of interoperability of cloud solutions with the existing e-infrastructures as a core and critical capability for a smooth integration of new service paradigms in the ERANotable is the test case with the EGI Federated Cloud foreseen in the second period

Recommend to increase the cooperation with e-infrastructure providers (e.g. co-locating workshops, as proved in the first period, could create economies to eventually extend the number of operational events/meetings)

implementation actions, owner, priority, delivery date and progress till end May; interoperability workshops used to focus on progressing in implementing actions

Through the EGI-InSPIRE project, EGI funded the development of an OCCI connector for SlipStream (HN Blue Box); Scheduled in production for HNX 1.1
