Cloud without borders Dr. Yelena Yesha Director of UMBC site NSF CHMPR Computer Science and Electrical Engineering University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Cloud computing • Cloud Security • Tightening of Cloud access • Private Clouds • Openness and no borders • Better collaboration between organizations • Academia can be an early adoptee of Open Clouds • Stanford professors teaching AI course to 160,000 people worldwide.
Global Clouds • Spanning multiple continents • Multiple language support • Multiple policysupport • Cloud Location – EU, US jurisdiction • Different business practices issues • Knowledge of international treaties and homeland security issues
Working Together to Build a Healthy Cloud Ecosystem • Scientists/ Professors working more on inter-disciplinary researchand need to share data • Same research area, different domains OR different research area, same project. • E.g. Research on NOAA weather prediction models and Personalized medicine being conducted by same team • Virtualization and Multi-tenancy of Clouds enable researchers working on the same project across different research areas. • Our team works on data mining and the team in UCSD looks at data visualization referring to the same data on the cloud.
Cloud sharing : Community Clouds • Built a community cloud across multiple Universities • UCSD, Georgia Tech, FAU • Cloud infrastructure shared to run HPC experiments • Hybrid clouds will be needed to manage legacy systems • Legacy code will remain on internal infrastructure • Data/ Results can be shared on public/community clouds
Roadblocks • Cloud security – multi-tenancy • Data portability difficult across difference cloud platforms. • Manual Migration (Trucking disks of data) appears to be the fastest mode of migrating large volume of data. • Scientific research data is usually large volume data.
