WP Objectives Identifying 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 goals Understanding 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 European • National 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 Europe • EUDAT: a project exploring the data services and support needed in Europe for the European Research Area Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP6
Effort Contribution • Lead Beneficiary: EGI.eu WP6 Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP6
Scientific/technical achievements and their impact • Interoperability Roadmap • 17 high level recommendations with implementation actions, tracked progress – to be completed beyond the lifetime of the FP7 project • Provide focus on key interoperability aspects to be addressed Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP6
Scientific/technical achievements and their impact • Connection of Helix Nebula partners to GÉANT/NRENs Supplier-to-supplier supported for ESA use case Business model will be reviewed at the end of 2014 Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP6
Scientific/technical achievements and their impact R.8: Common IT service management and assessment framework • In 2013, FedSM published FitSM (www.fitsm.eu) • A lightweight IT service management for federated infrastructures • Based on ITIL, CoBIT, ISO20000 • Through interoperability workshops, established collaboration with experts from EC-funded FedSMproject • Helix Nebula adopted FitSM • A dedicated training/certification/implementation workshop was organised in Darmstadt, Jan 2014 Impact • IT service management interoperability • Exploitation of EC project results • Increased maturity of service management and skills Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP6
Scientific/technical achievements and their impact Integration with EGI Federated Cloud EGI Federated Cloud: • Open standard & open source based • Publicly-funded resource providers for research • Re-use policy/operations/organisation framework of European Grid • 15 certified providers across 12 countries (June 2014) • Production phase since May 2014 Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP6

Recommendations from P1 review • Technical, 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 ERA • Notable 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 In total, three out of four workshops where co-located with EGI events EGI Technical Forum, Prague, Sep 2012 Helix Nebula General Assembly, Frascati, Jan 2013 EGI Technical Forum, Madrid, Sep 2013 EGI Community Forum, Helsinki, May 2014 (extra) Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP6
Deliverables and Milestones – Period 2 Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP6
Overall modifications, corrective actions, re-tuning of objectives • Jan 2014: • Supported workshop for FitSM training/certification/implementation • May 2014: • 4th Interoperability workshop (extra) • Co-located with EGI Community Forum 2014 Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP6
Exploitation and use of foreground • Interoperability roadmap • For commercial providers and publicly funded e-Infrastructures, to guide future collaboration • For policy makers, to define priorities • New business models for the ERA • Interoperability with EGI Federated Cloud • Integration with GEANT/NRENs • Enabling new opportunities Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP6
Collaboration with other parties • For interoperability roadmap: TechArch, ServArch, WP4, WP5, WP7 • For dissemination: WP2 • For integration and testing of EGI: TechArch, ServArch, WP4, WP7 With other FP7 projects FedSM, EGI-InSPIRE, GEANT, PRACE, EUDAT Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP6
Contribution to the dissemination of project results • Support to dissemination of news, events, results via EGI channels • Co-location of interoperability workshops with EGI events • Demo of ESA flagship deployment at Future Internet Assembly 2014 Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP6
Summary • Developed relationships and trust among the publicly-funded and private sector players • Establishedroadmap between publicly funded e-Infrastructures and commercial providers • Harmonised IT service management • Connected commercial providers to GÉANT/NRENs • Demonstrated integration of EGI Federated Cloud Helix Nebula - Final Review - WP6
