Timeline • Endorse the Common Strategy • Agree on the Partnership • Select flagships use cases • Define governance model Towards an open market for Science • Pilot Phase • Deploy flagships • Analysis of functionality, • performance & financial model • Input on H2020 • Helix Nebula – The Science Cloud: A catalyst for change in Europe
NextSteps • Taking into account the experience gained from the initial flagship deployments and the need for a federated cloud system • Goals: • Monitor the progress of the programme of work within each work package and the involvement of the non EC funds beneficiaries • Provide a forum to discuss issues, examine progress and contribution and establish better communication between individual partners, the work package leaders and project management • Promote the Helix Nebula initiative in Europe and beyond • Engage national funding agencies, research communities and companies • Verify the state of readiness for the transition to the ‘production’ phase • Output for the EC project: • Publishable documents on strategy and requirements, business models, and Architecture • Q1 – Q2: Results of the second yearflagshipdeploymentspresentedat the third General Assembly in September 2013 • Q3 – Q4: Deployment of the new flagships use cases • EC reviewresults to bediscussedat the General Assembly in September 2013
Flagshipdeployments Results will contribute to deliverables • D5.2 “Report on future technical requirements” • D5.4 “Final Flagship Deployment report” • D6.2 “Roadmap for the integration and Interoperation of commercial cloud with e-Infrastructures”
Initial flagships (CERN,EMBL, ESA) • Complete on-going deployments with the Blue Box implementations • Test hybrid cloud model linking Helix Nebula suppliers with EGI and GEANT using the CERN ATLAS/CMS flagship as a use-case (September 2013) • Determine how the services being developed by EUDAT could be relevant for Helix Nebula (October 2013)
NewFlagships • 3 selected from 15 proposals: • European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) • Weather Data Information Supersite (WDIS) with 100 years of weather data • UNESCO (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission) • Ocean and Coastal Information Supersite (OCIS) • Port d’InformacióCientífica (PIC), Barcelona • Reduce costs and improve speed of delivery, increase volume and accuracy for Neuroimaging • Foresee to deploy the new flagships in 2H 2013
Helix Nebula and Europe 2020 • The Horizon 2020 EU framework programme for research and innovation will build on 3 major pillars: • Strengthening the EU’s position in science • Strengthening industrial Leadership in innovation • Tackling Societal Challenges Helix Nebula’s vision and strategic goals are fully aligned with Europe 2020 strategy.
Helix Nebula andnational structures • The initial Helix Nebula flagships address the needs of international research organizations with big-science goals • In the second period we want to study how to work with national structures and funding agencies: • Identify potential commercial suppliers and research community users in the country for whom Helix Nebula would bring advantages • Compare the business models being developed in Helix Nebula with those used on a national basis • Understand how national engagement would impact the Helix Nebula governance model
Sustainability • Determine if the business models under study are capable of supporting the long-term sustainability of the pan-European science cloud independent of short project funding cycles
Summary Progress Towards Objectives 1. A platform capable of development through PPP into a scalable science cloud; 2. A flexible governance structure capable of growing alongside the infrastructure itself; 3. Representations of functional and non‐functional requirements including policies for trust, security and privacy; 4. Agreements regarding inter‐operability with other, existing, e‐infrastructures; 5. Three flagships based at CERN, EMBL and ESA (represented by CNR), selected as ‘stretch’ targets highlighting extreme cases of the requirements of the ERA and space agencies; 6. Sustainable business models adhering to and supporting European‐level policies; 7. A roadmap and development plan for addressing issues on the road to 2020.
