3. European Grid Infrastructure 3 BioVeL in Practice & In the Future, Paris, 2014.11.13 • European • Over 35 countries • Grid • Services for the sharing of IT resources • Infrastructure • Computers • Data • Applications • …. and beyond!! • Sustainability • NGI membership fees • FP7-H2020 projects EDG  EGEE  EGI 2002-04  2004-2010  2010- EGI.eu
4. Enablers of e-Infrastructures 4 BioVeL in Practice & In the Future, Paris, 2014.11.13 • Distributed, federated storage and compute facilities • Grid and Cloud compute platforms • Virtual Research Environments • > 200 user research projects • 350 resource centres in 40 countries • 400,000 logical CPU cores • 190 PB disk, 180 PB tape • > 99.6% reliability Evaluatin model . . .
5. The EGI Federated Cloud 5 BioVeL in Practice & In the Future, Paris, 20141113 • Standards and validation: federation is based on common Open-Standards – OCCI, CDMI, OVF, GLUE, etc... • Heterogeneous implementation: no mandate on the cloud technology, the only condition is to expose the chosen interfaces and services. • IaaS oriented with PaaS/SaaS growing interest • Distributed Competence Center The EGI Federated Cloud is federation of institutional private Clouds, offering Cloud Infrastructure as a Service to scientists in Europe and worldwide.

8. Resource & Service Providers feed 8 BioVeL in Practice & In the Future, Paris, 2014.11.13 “Exploiting cloud computing paradigm, greatly increase the capabilities of supporting new use-cases …” Giacinto Don Vito, INFN BARI EGI Federated Cloud evolves with community needs: • Robust federated storage • Common AAI across all platform layers (brokers, portals, …) • AWS Route 53 similar service • Simple Email Service • Reliable service management D. Lezzi, BSC; R. Haines, UNIMAN; Renato De Giovanni, CRIA
9. EGI Added Value Technical areas: • Resource provisioning • Operations services • Helpdesk • Software and applications distribution Outreach, support, policy areas: • Distributed Competence Center • Centers of Excellence • Service Management (FitSM) 9 BioVeL in Practice & In the Future, Paris, 2014.11.13
10. Points to take home • BioVeL greatly helped EGI to establish and evolve the Federated Cloud • Resource providers from BioVeL became long-term cloud providers in EGI • BioVeL operates 4 use cases on EGI. This is the highest number from a single community. • The Cloud provides flexibility that can serve diverse use cases • The cloud still needs to evolve to fully serve BioVeL: robustness, federated storage, VA maintenance 10 BioVeL in Practice & In the Future, Paris, 2014.11.13
