  1. What Does it Mean to be a Strategic NESSI Project? Dr. Yaron Wolfsthal Sr Mgr, System Technologies and Services IBM Haifa Research Laboratory Servicewave 2009, Stockholm NESSI General Assembly

  2. Introduction to Reservoir • Reservoir = Resource and Service Virtualization w/out Barriers • Advanced technologies for cloud computing • An infrastructure project • Automation of processes in a cloud environment • Scalability of infrastructure thru federation • European-funded collaborative research project • 3 Years EU FP7 project started in February 2008 • Budget: € 17 million • 13 partners from across industry, academia and standards bodies • IBM is the technical leader and project coordinator • NESSI Strategic Project, focusing on ICT infrastructure

  3. Federation of Cooperating Computing Clouds Thick walls in between clouds, i.e., each is an autonomous management entity My Private Cloud My Partner Cloud A Public Cloud Components of same virtual appliances (composite image) need to communicate over isolated virtual networks regardless of location Clouds differentiate from each in terms of cost and trust level, for while a public cloud maybe very cheap, companies will be reluctant to put in there sensitive data/compute

  4. Reservoir Research Challenges Physical host VM VM VM Physical host VM VM VM Physical host VM VM VM Live migration across subnet boundaries, live migration without shared storage, live migration with large latencies (large distances), on-the-fly creation of virtual networks, efficient image distribution Remote Cloud ?

  5. Being an Nessi Strategic Project… • Implications/guidelines with respect to two phases of the project life cycle • - Preparation • - Execution

  6. NSP Life Cycle- Preparation • Identify where you want to be on the NESSI Stack Engineering Tools Interaction Services End user Interface Service consumers ContextModelling Mapping users perspectives to business/Integration Context Handling Consumer Adaptation KnowledgeModelling Business Process Execution Information Services SVN LifecycleManagement BPM view SVNModeling Business ProcessModeling “System” Platform Composition Service Coordination Mediation SLA Negotiation Service Discovery Service Platform ServiceCommunication SBS/SBAModelling Service Registration LifecycleManagement Service ServiceExecution Reasoning Integration Services External Services Native Services Service Modelling Infrastructure and DataAbstraction AbstractedInfrastructure Monitoring Infrastructure Infrastructure Modelling Data Management ResourcesManagement

  7. NSP Life Cycle- Preparationcont. • Leverage the NESSI organization and network

  8. NSP Life Cycle - Preparation cont.

  9. NSP Life Cycle- Execution • Be prepared to invest money and effort A sizable research team • Your sponsors expects return on investment - Your company - The commission

  10. NSP Life Cycle- Execution cont. • As a reference project, you are expected to do more and “push the envelope” on multiple dimensions - Technology - Exploitation - Community support and visibility Consultation, reviews Working with other NESSI projects

  11. NSP Life Cycle- Execution cont. • The net result is positive Overall, the gain is well worth the effort For industrial project partners Earlier production and exploitation of technology For academic partners Flow of strong research results For all partners Visibility and access to policy makers For the users Better, earlier access to technology and exploitation
