  1. THE CLARA SERVICE MODEL AND BUSINESS PLAN FOR GRID Salma Jalife (CUDI-México) and Luis A. Núñez (CLARA, UIS-Colombia/ULA-Venezuela) 2nd Project Review Brussels, 8/12/2011

  2. Outline • The Evolution from Grid Services to Advanced Computing (AC) Services • CLARA Advanced Computing Services and Science Gateway • Cost and Methodology • Conclusions/Actions GISELA - Second Project Review - Brussels - 8/12/2011

  3. CLARA Advanced Computing Services • AC Expertise Transfer. Technical Consulting to assist in house applications • Customising an existing application to profit the existing AC e-infrastructure • Developing in house new applications required by the customer organisation (Research, Industry or NREN) • SDK/SourFourge TrainingTo increase the awareness on the AC environments • Wizard for basic applications.Allows the less expert users and/or NREN to install their applications • Federated Authentication Resources. Grant authorized access to use the federated resources at a continental scale • Application ShelfService: Application ShelfAllows the users, industrial partner and/or NREN to contract computing resources • Virtual Resources Grid Allocation. Virtual services e-infrastructure, such as: • Allocation of AC resources allowing the member institutions to configure AC environments (cores/storage/network provisioning) and elements needed to execute their applications • Running Services records, tracking the processes submitted to the e-infrastructure • Data Preservation Services. Offer the possibility to store their data for a period of time • Training and Capacity Building Service. To increases the usage and the culture of Advanced Computing Services by providing people the information and the skills needed to access the AC Services GISELA - Second Project Review - Brussels - 8/12/2011

  6. A Regional Cooperative Solution Offers ScienceGateway Virtual Instruments Virtual Servers Grid Cloud • On demand resources (Hardware, Software & Manware) from the research groups to the research groups • High bandwidth and low latency from the Experimental academic advanced Networks • Replicating other services in the RedCLARA Operational Structure • Added value to the existent infrastructure • Better use of the existent computational infrastructure and expertise from different countries • Promoting local middleware solutions better suited for the region Commercial Providers User Authentication GISELA - Second Project Review - Brussels - 8/12/2011

  8. Regional Competitive Solution GISELA - Second Project Review - Brussels - 8/12/2011

  9. Two Examples of RC Costs (€) GISELA - Second Project Review - Brussels - 8/12/2011

  10. Operation Evolution GISELA - Second Project Review - Brussels - 8/12/2011

  11. SERVUCTION & Operational Profit • First, Second year of operation after GISELA. • ½ FTE for administrative purposes as contracts, billing and expenditures • ½ FTE for technical support • 1 FTE fore marketing and sales • Third year (1 FTE - Administrative, 1 FTE - Technical and 1 FTE – sales) Fixed Costs GISELA - Second Project Review - Brussels - 8/12/2011

  12. Business Model Supported by 3 Actions SG Technical Capacities Funding sources from S&T Agencies Marketing toward VRC/User Communties GISELA - Second Project Review - Brussels - 8/12/2011

  13. Conclusions & Actions (1/2) • The service architecture based on SG centric model includes all possible services to be offered by RedCLARA • The cooperative share cost broker model is economically viable and competitive with the present commercial offer • It has been validated with the • Directors on NRENs at the RedCLARA Assembly (Oct 27th ) • Need to be explained to the S&T Agencies • Need to be aligned with National Initiatives • Good idea: 30% National capacity to be share regional + Funds for RC • Need to be related with other EU projects (RISC, CHAIN, ProIdeal) • Application Committee (Nov 18th ) • Need to allow the possibility to “credit cores” for research projects • Need to allow possibility to offer 5% financed resources for good proposals with no funding opportunities GISELA - Second Project Review - Brussels - 8/12/2011

  14. Conclusions & Actions (2/2) • RedCLARA Assembly (Nov. 10th , 2011) and RedCLARA Board Meeting (Dec. 2nd , 2011) recommended to: • Evaluate the cost/performance of the GISELA e-infrastructure • Convince two or three candidates to start/test the model • Look for funding for the test period (~2 years) • Develop a LA Call for SG Task Force • Training at LA and EU technical people from ve, co, pe, mx, ec. • F2f meeting and Workshop at the GISELA Conference • Aggressive plan to interact with LA Science & Technology Agencies (ar, cl, mx, pe, ec, co, ve) • Marketing strategy aiming to VRC and ComCLARA Communities • CLARA Market Study for Cloud Services for standard computing services GISELA - Second Project Review - Brussels - 8/12/2011
