GEOSS 2013 Public Clouds and GEO Science Micheál HigginsCloudSigma
Big Science and Big Data • Public Cloud should be a disruptive technology for Scientific Research ! • Global access to GEO Data for all PI’s • Elasticity and Scale-on-demand compute • Data-as-a-Service • Science PaaS – the software tools for investigation already packaged, licensed (pay-per-use) and ready to run • Transparent and seamless networking • Cost control – pay-per-use, quotas
Big Science and Big Data • Federated multi-cloud architecture • CloudSigma is strongly committed to Helix Nebula • BlueBox disintermediation • Catalog of Services and Costs • Networking critical to effective service delivery • Europe in unique position with highly advanced academic networking and connectivity • Inject vitality of commercial public cloud providers offering value-added services that leverage high speed data access over the GEANT network staying within the non-compete remit of GEANT (i.e. for academic users)
Helix Nebula • Helix Nebula FP7 – The Science Cloud • Commercial Public Clouds and Big Science • Cloud vendors sitting behind a common access, identity and provisioning platform for ease of use • Opportunity for more the fragmented European market to offer scale and cost control to scientific computing users PLUS service specialization • There is no one single cloud solution, purveyors of perfect solutions to everything make us nervous!
CloudSigma Vision • Project Correlation • Goal: Help make DATA into INFORMATION • We will host Big Data for low or no cost • Interface to Big Data providers • Encourage data owners to offer credits to PI’s • Provide cloud compute to researchers / PI’s • Enable DaaS across: many clouds, many databases, many scientific domains • Cost scaling (e.g. results in: 1h, 1d, 1w) • Enhance Correlation outcomes……
CloudSigma Vision • Project Correlation • Enhance Correlation outcomes…… • ESA: EO/SAR Soil moisture sensor + • WHO: Malaria fatalities + • CSO: Population density map = • Better mosquito eradication programs • Ethical Computing !!!

Correlations • Correlations can be Commercial and/or Ethical • Soil Moisture + Price of wheat = Food secure world • Sea currents + Salinity = Sustainable village fishing • Proteins + Drug trial = Safer medical outcomes • Subsidence + Pop density = Better insurance focus • Proton collisions + Particle mass = Higgs boson • Ash flow + Winds aloft = Micheal not stranded in Sofia
