1 1. Introduc+on and Background Cloud Services so far Feasibility Study Next Steps Procurement, POC 2. Service Overview Service Profile The Architecture & principles The Service Features/Characteris+cs 3. Your Requirements Use Cases Service Demand / Forecast Risks

2 Client discussions & SEG => Cloud Compute E- Infrastructure Whitepaper Vision for a Cloud Compute service Cloud Compu+ng and E- Infrastructure Strategy Feasibility Study client requirements & use cases Infrastructure Prototype / Technology evalua+on Public : Amazon, HP, Rackspace, Azure VMware, Openstack, Cloudstack, Eucalyptus Business Case Development Costs, demand, funding, delivery plan Edustorage Edustorage

3 1. Evaluate the viability and benefits of HEAnet providing a poten+al future HEAnet Cloud Compute service i.e. is it realis+c for HEAnet to do, if so what would such a service look like? 2. Evaluate the poten+al the Cloud Services Broker (CSB) model 3. Evaluate the key success factors and requirements necessary to develop and launch the service 4. Iden+fy sources of exper+se for the feasibility study and project 5. Evaluate Client readiness and likely take- up 6. Evaluate the capabili+es of HEAnet to meet client requirements & expecta+on 7. Evaluate the opera+onal models for delivering a Cloud Service and the corresponding HEAnet capabili+es, Resources & Skillsets 8. Evaluate Cloud landscape manufacturers, products, service providers. 9. Risk analysis

4 1. Gather feedback from HEAnet clients by interview based on a ques+onnaire from a representa+ve group of clients, (8/13) - AIT, CIT, LIT, WIT, UCC, UCD, TCD, EPA. 2. Iden+fy and use sources of exper+se and resources for feasibility study / project within the HEAnet community. 3. Review HEAnet Cloud Strategy/E- infrastructure document 4. Gather feedback from NREN sources with cloud experience - GRNET, SURFNet, NIIF 5. Gather feedback from external experts - CIT, Gartner 6. Evalua+on of poten+al cloud suppliers & products in the marketplace BT, Rackspace, Canonical, VMware, Triangle, Rightscale, DELL 7. Define criteria for Cloud product/vendor evalua+on

5 Posi+ve towards proposed service and HEAnet as provider Must re realis+c in terms of scale and s+ll relevant for clients See HEAnet as having key advantages and benefits compared to other providers (gov and public) See a variety of benefits but no common theme/use case Clients are very early in their journey and cau+ous approach has been opportunis+c rather than strategic Client involvement in POC/ Pilot vital Concerns Service quality, Data protec+on/backup, Security, Control, Vendor lock- in, Govt cloud/others, HEAnet capability Can expect that clients will pay a premium vs public services

6 Valuable insights clients, vendors, NRENs, tech/products Cloud Compute is a risky proposi+on as a service Cloud Compute can be extended with CSB approach Extremely broad range of opportuni+es and applica+ons No best prac+ce or proven approach Vendor solu+ons and technologies are not mature cau+ous approach required VMware most advanced & expensive S+ck with an off the shelf approach not development and start with a basic core service Resources & skillsets are a major success factor A POC/Pilot is essen+al to prove vendor, technology, gain experience

7 Procurement POC RFT : Servers, Network, CMP solu+on Evalua+on to prove vendor/technology/learn technology To gain experience of the products/technologies HEAnet Edugate integra+on Test client pilot use cases Func+onal & Acceptance tes+ng & decision to proceed Pilot Phase Onboard 2-3 clients with 5-10 VMs Develop SLA, Service Promo+on Timelines Q3 Procurement, Q4 POC
