Hybrid Cloud Experiments with GENI for Multi-site Opt-in Use Cases Prasad Calyam (PI) Collaborators: Ray Leto (TotalSim), Rob Kopp (Metro Data Center) GEC18 Talk in Session on Shakedown Experiments, October 2013
City-supported Hybrid Computing Infrastructure Smart Cities have the potential to provide computing and broadband “utility” services that have a transformative economic impact
Project Purpose Credit: TotalSim We want to transform how professionals and students can make and learn-about advanced manufacturing components through a "simulation-as-a-service" app based on cloud resource and software/platform access rentals in US Ignite cities…
Advanced manufacturing design today requires iterative and collaborative work among multi-site engineering experts… New Component
Life of a small-business…(in advanced manufacturing) Future: Cloud/apps/GENI • WebEx on virtual desktop • Synchronous collaboration, Cross-platform/device operation • Cloud storage • OSC storage, Box.net • Data security and control • Fast data transfer • Extended VLANs over Dublink, OARnet, GENI • Elastic compute access • Can handle demand bursts Traditional development lifecycle: several delays for delivery, increased cost, and overhead for productivity Agile development lifecycle: quicker delivery, reduced cost and increased productivity Today: Local/home-grown • Screen capture/Email • Asynchronous collaboration, physical Win7 PC access required • Lots of data copies • Mail DVDs, SCP • Slow data transfer • Public Internet • Local cluster procurement • Time consuming, overprovision
SMaaSApp in GENI Infrastructure GENI experiments in this project will include multi-site opt-in users and studies on user productivity, performance and experiences using SMaaS apps
Activities Planned and Challenges • Setup Hybrid Cloud testbed with GENI Rack connected over the City of Dublin network to the GENI infrastructure • Last-mile infrastructure build-out to TotalSim • High-bandwidth connectivity • Long-running service • Demonstration of a simple simulation-as-a-service app • Intellectual Property issues • VMware Horizon Broker hosting within GENI Rack • Plan for recruiting opt-in users for the hybrid-cloud services • IRB protocol for opt-in user recruitment and usability studies • Report on experiences implementing simple app services • Suggestions for improving GENI tools and services • Publish conference/journal papers
