1 NRENs Cloud Infrastructure Framework (NRENs-CLIF): Case Study of SADC Region Mrs. Nalina Suresh University of Namibia Namibia Prof. Jameson Mbale Copperbelt University Zambia Session 6a, 21 November 2014 UbuntuNet Connect 2014 Copyright 2014 NRENs-CLIF 1

2 Content Introduction Motivation Strength Objectives Statement of the Problem Study Findings Factors to be Considered on Adopting Cloud Technology Benefits of Cloud Services in NRENs Members NRENs-CLIF Framework for SADC NRENs Conclusion and Recomendations Session 6a, 21 November 2014 UbuntuNet Connect 2014 Copyright 2014 NRENs-CLIF 2

3 Introduction NRENs-CLIF : NRENs-CLIF Cloud Infrastructure Framework Conceived to build a Cloud computing infrastructure framework suitable for the SADC NRENs Session 6a, 21 November 2014 UbuntuNet Connect 2014 Copyright 2014 NRENs-CLIF 3

4 Motivation -Strength Existing functional NRENs in the SADC region Structures of the existing NRENs Resources, technologies, etc Session 6a, 21 November 2014 UbuntuNet Connect 2014 Copyright 2014 NRENs-CLIF 4

5 Objective(s) NRENs-CLIF assess the prevailing status of SADC NRENs, non-cloud based technology Further determine best possible framework of transforming current infrastructure into cloud model Investigate the challenges and opportunities Session 6a, 21 November 2014 UbuntuNet Connect 2014 Copyright 2014 NRENs-CLIF 5

6 Statement of the Problem Appealing features of Cloud Computing have been driving its integration into ICT component of Education sector In view of the above, NRENs in developed nations are adopting Cloud Computing Thorsteinsson et. Al., (2010), cloud-based solutions can be very effective collaboration learning Katz (2009), many NRENs in developed countries are joining cloud-based services to stay organised and connected Developed world opted for Cloud Computing because of its flexibility to pay-as-you-go and on demand scalable model Session 6a, 21 November 2014 UbuntuNet Connect 2014 Copyright 2014 NRENs-CLIF 6

7 Statement of the Problem (contd.) Require dedicated research on Cloud Computing in the SADC region In view of the above, this work introduces NRENs-CLIF which would build an Inter-Cloud infrastructure system that would envision the transitions of every NREN into Cloud The study aim to address the following Research Questions: 1. How can the SADC NRENs resources be utilised to establish Cloud infrastructure and connectivity to facilitate research collaboration? 2. What are the resources that can be used to establish institutional Cloud infrastructure in the SADC NRENs? Session 6a, 21 November 2014 UbuntuNet Connect 2014 Copyright 2014 NRENs-CLIF 7

8 Statement of the Problem (contd.) 3. What Cloud Service Architecture is suitable for interconnection of NRENs in SADC region? 4. What are the challenges faced by SADC NRENs with regards to establishing institutional Cloud services Session 6a, 21 November 2014 UbuntuNet Connect 2014 Copyright 2014 NRENs-CLIF 8

9 Statement of the Problem (contd.) Study: willingness of NRENs to deploy Cloud technologies: Session 6a, 21 November 2014 UbuntuNet Connect 2014 Copyright 2014 NRENs-CLIF 9

10 Study revealed that: Study Challenges Adopting Cloud Computing only 15% responded that their organisations implemented cloud technology about 85% NRENs not implemented Cloud technology Session 6a, 21 November 2014 UbuntuNet Connect 2014 Copyright 2014 NRENs-CLIF 1 0

11 Study : Cloud Services Study: reasons for having not adopted Cloud services in NRENs institutions About 63% pointed out, lack of technology While 33% raised concerns on strict(ed) regulations Session 6a, 21 November 2014 UbuntuNet Connect 2014 Copyright 2014 NRENs-CLIF 1 1

12 Factors to be Considered on Adopting Cloud Technology Stronger executive support cloud initiatives Upgrading to Cloud services Strong/firm guarantees contracts Availability of Cloud services Session 6a, 21 November 2014 UbuntuNet Connect 2014 Copyright 2014 NRENs-CLIF 12

13 Benefits of Cloud Services in NRENs Members Standardised shared platform Effective collaboration among SADC NRENs Effective data exchange among SADC and NRENs beyond Session 6a, 21 November 2014 UbuntuNet Connect 2014 Copyright 2014 NRENs-CLIF 13

14 Proposed NRENs-CLIF Framework for SADC NRENs T CSM ICIF Cloud Operation Framework Main Architectural Components Cloud Services Model (CSM) Cloud Control and Management Plane (CCMP) Trusted Cloud Security Framework (TCSF) Cloud Federation System (CFS) Supporting Architectural Components E-Science or Enterprise Collaborative Infrastructure (ECI) Virtual Resources (VRs) Inter Cloud Infrastructure (ICI) Resource/Service provider Campus Network Cloud IaaS/PaaS provider 21 November 2014 Session 6a, 14
