Cloud: State of the Federation and Future Opportunities
- Jerome Pansanel (CNRS)
Description
This session will showcase the current status of research cloud federations, with a clear focus on the EGI Cloud providers. It will consist on short presentations from cloud sites (new-comers, long-running and non-EGI) highlighting their latest developments and what are the pros and cons of federation. New models and opportunities will be presented followed by an open discussion.

Presentation
The Nectar Research Cloud provides a self-service OpenStack cloud for Australia’s academic researchers. Since its inception in early 2012 as a pioneering Openstack research cloud, it has grown to over 35,000 virtual CPUs now being used at any given time, with over 7,000 virtual machines being run by around 2,000 researchers and used by thousands more. It is operated as a federation across...

Presentation
Nowadays it is accepted that Cloud computing is a disruptive paradigm that has been rapidly adopted by industry and government sectors due to its unique features such as reduced costs, elastic scalability, self-service provisioning, etc. This cloud advent is not something only restricted to the IT industry, and also research and education have embraced it. However, the road to the adoption of...

Presentation
The High-Performance Computing Center[1] of the University of Lille
provides since several years access to a Cloud Computing facility based
on OpenStack. Like the Cloud Computing service hosted at IN2P3-IRES[2],
it is member of FG-Cloud[3], the French NGI federated Cloud, and has
planned to join the French Bioinformatics Institute Cloud[4], biosphere.
In addition, this Cloud...

Presentation
Over the last few years, there have been various implementations of pay-for-use business models of which a handful of EGI service providers have been taking advantage. This is thanks to the work originally carried out through a pay-for-use proof of concept task force that had larger participation from a number of NGIs.
The objective of this presentation is to spread awareness of the EGI...
