– TERENA as coordinator, (Martel) – NRENs: NIIF, PSNC, SURFnet, GRNET – Commercial Cloud SMEs: Vrijheid.net, Flexiant – Universities: UvA, (University of Szeged), (NTUA) – Research lab: FORTH – Vendor: (Cisco)
– STREP - 24 month (potential start in June 2012)
– 403 PM (16.79 FTE) – 32 people from 13 organizations (6 countries)
– 3.5 ME of which 2.5 ME requested EC funding
Today, HE users typically can access a) the private (or hosted/managed private) cloud provided by the home institution or NREN and/or b) b) the public commercial cloud service (if it is allowed by the policy)
Architecture (for public and private IaaS clouds) and a harmonised, consistent, interoperable and open source Cloud Carrier Software Stack (i.e. vertical integration) built on relevant standards.
– Focus on the HE use of IaaS clouds (i.e. University/Campus IT department as customer and HE student, researcher and staff as end-user) however, bearing in mind other possible applications of the proposed model. – Consider the interoperation/integration between private Resource Clouds (IaaS) provided by NRENs as well as the harmonisation and federation between those private and other public IaaS clouds provided by commercial cloud industry.
with the cloud (i.e. horizontal integration) in order to bridge the current technical and non-technical gaps between the education sector and cloud industry.
– Do the integration at the technical level (i.e. exchange, import/export of virtual infrastructure entities, store metadata/encryption key separate from the data, run virtual instances in the cloud under the user IP-space, etc.) – Do the harmonisation at the business processes level (i.e. orchestration that defines the policies and service levels through automated workflows for service offers, purchases and provisioning among multiple stakeholders, etc.)
