2 Science Goes Cloud Data Deluge and Globalisation of Science Biology Next generation sequencing annual increase of kbases/day almost by factor 10 Physics ATLAS experiment at CERN generates 15 PB of data per year to be analyzed by 3,000 physicians Earth Observation ESA will launch 3 Sentinel satellites in 2014 and 2015 which will generate more than 3 PB data p.a. Climate Research The climate model intercomparison project of the IPCC generated 2.3 PB in times more than in /05/2014 2

3 Helix Nebula The Science Cloud Big science teams up with big business A European public-private partnership for cloud

4 Helix Nebula The Science Cloud A European Public-Private Partnership Strategic Plan Establish multi-tenant, multi-provider cloud To support the computing capacity needs for the ATLAS experiment Setting up a new service to simplify analysis of large genomes, for a deeper insight into evolution and biodiversity To create an Earth Observation platform, focusing on earthquake and volcano research To improve the speed and quality of research for finding surrogate biomarkers based on brain images infrastructure Identify and adopt Suppliers policies for trust, security and privacy Create governance structure Define funding schemes Adopters 12/05/2014 4

5 Helix Nebula The Science Cloud Vision and Key Objectives Vision In 2020, all scientists of all disciplines will choose the Helix Nebula Infrastructure as their first option to store, access, process & analyse data It will contain vast quantities of data, open source tools, and a literally infinite amount of computing power accessible and usable from any kind of computer, smart phone or tablet device. Science will make significant progresses by applying data sharing and interdisciplinary research using this infrastructure as the fundamental tool. This infrastructure will have such a reliability and worldwide recognition for its implemented security and privacy scheme that also commercial companies will be using this "high security area" to derive patents. Objectives A platform capable of development through PPP into a scalable science cloud A flexible governance structure capable of growing alongside the infrastructure itself Representations of functional and non functional requirements including policies for trust, security and privacy Agreements regarding inter operability with other, existing e infrastructures Three flagships based at CERN, EMBL and ESA, selected as stretch targets highlighting extreme cases of the requirements of the ERA Sustainable business models adhering to and supporting European level policies A roadmap and development plan for addressing issues on the road to /05/2014 5
