3 What is Cloud Compu/ng? Cloud computing is the delivery of computing and storage capacity as a service to a heterogeneous community of endrecipients. (Wikipedia). "Cloud computing is a universal collection of data which extends over the internet in the form of resources (such as information hardware, various platforms, services etc.) and forms individual units within the virtualization environment. Held together by infrastructure providers, service providers and the consumer, then it is semantically accessed by various users." (CLUSE 2012), Bangalore, April Dr. Biju John and Dr. Souheil Khaddaj 3

4 Why Cloud Compu/ng? Cloud compujng relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale similar to a ujlity (like the electricity grid) over a network (typically the Internet). At the foundajon of cloud compujng is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services. 4

5 Cloud Service Enablers Virtualiza/on technology allows servers and storage devices to be shared and ujlizajon increased. ApplicaJons can be easily migrated from one physical server to another. High bandwidth with the current availability of dark fiber and dedicated wavelenghts (lambdas) from telecom providers. 5

7 Cloud Systems Benefits Agility improves with users' ability to re- provision technological infrastructure resources. Resource sharing and costs across a large pool of users, allowing for: centraliza/on of infrastructure in locajons with lower costs (such as real estate, electricity, etc.). Device and loca/on independence enable users to access systems using a web browser regardless of their locajon or what device they are using (e.g., PC, mobile phone, tablet). As infrastructure is off- site (typically provided by a third- party) and accessed via the Internet, users can connect from anywhere. 7

8 Cloud Systems Features Scalability and Elas/city via dynamic ("on- demand") provisioning of resources on a fine- grained, self- service basis near real- Jme, without users having to engineer for peak loads. Reliability is improved if muljple redundant sites are used, which makes well- designed cloud compujng suitable for business conjnuity and disaster recovery. Security is ozen as good as or be[er than other tradijonal systems, in part because providers are able to devote resources to solving security issues that many customers cannot afford. However, the complexity of security is greatly increased when data is distributed over a wider area or greater number of devices and in mulj- tenant systems that are being shared by unrelated users. In addijon, user access to security audit logs may be difficult or impossible. Private cloud installajons are in part mojvated by users' desire to retain control over the infrastructure and avoid losing control of informajon security. 8

9 Service Models/Types INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE (IaaS) In this most basic cloud service model, cloud providers offer computers as physical or more ozen as virtual machines, raw (block) storage, firewalls, load balancers, and networks. IaaS providers supply these resources on demand from their large pools installed in data centers. In this model, the cloud user is responsible for patching and maintaining the operajng systems and applicajon sozware. Cloud providers typically bill IaaS services on a ujlity compujng basis, that is, cost will reflect the amount of resources allocated and consumed. Examples of IaaS include: Amazon CloudFormaJon (and underlying services such as EC2), Rackspace Cloud, Google Compute Engine, and RightScale. 9

10 Service Models/Types PLATFORM AS A SERVICE (PaaS) In the PaaS model, cloud providers deliver a compujng pladorm typically including operajng system, programming language execujon environment, database, and web server. ApplicaJon developers can develop and run their sozware solujons on a cloud pladorm without the cost and complexity of buying and managing the underlying hardware and sozware layers. With some PaaS offers, the underlying compute and storage resources scale automa/cally to match applicajon demand such that cloud user does not have to allocate resources manually. Examples of PaaS include: Amazon ElasJc Beanstalk, Heroku, EngineYard, Google App Engine, and MicrosoZ Azure. 10

11 Service Models/Types SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE (SaaS) In this model, cloud providers install and operate applicajon sozware in the cloud. Cloud users access the sozware from cloud client applicajons. The cloud users do not manage the cloud infrastructure and pladorm on which the applicajon is running. What makes a cloud applicajon different from other applicajons is its elas/city. This can be achieved by cloning tasks onto muljple virtual machines at run- Jme to meet the changing work demand. The pricing model for SaaS applicajons is typically a monthly or yearly flat fee per user. Examples of SaaS include: Google Apps, Quickbooks Online and Salesforce.com. 11

12 Cloud Service Modes 12

13 NRENs Cloud Services Build or Buy? Low risc commodity services like for students, document sharing outsourced to public clouds (SaaS model); Joint contracts NRENs can act as a cloud contract broker to negojate with the market for the universijes and research centers; Outsourcing infrastructure services to third parjes may be a risc, specialy considering the service itself (operajon, security, data privacy); In the IaaS model, NRENs can operate as service provider since universijes already have a long term trust relajonship with their NRENs. In this case NRENs are more likely to build and operate their own infrastructure or act as a proxy for public cloud infrastructure, when applicable. 13

14 NRENs Cloud Services in Europe NREN País Status Inicia/va GRNET Grécia Em produção Offering Cloud Services to the Greek R&E Community RedIRIS Espanha Em produção Commodisa/on of Services SURFnet Holanda Em produção Working with commercial cloud service providers NIIF/Hungarnet Hungria Em produção Private IaaS cloud solu/on HEAnet Irlanda Em desenvolvimento HEAnet is acjvely thinking of providing 'cloud' service ARNES Slovênia Em produção ARNES offers Virtual Private Servers, mostly for schools ACOne Áustria Em desenvolvimento CARNnet Croácia Em produção University of Salzburg was starjng a pilot with Google apps for students. CARNet will offer Microso\ services to primary and secondary schools in Croa/a, star/ng in December (2010). FUNET Finlândia Em análise FUNET is keenly following the developments in other countries. CESNET República Checa SANET Eslováquia - - CESNET currently sees no strong demand for this from their users, but they have started to talk to service providers SANET does not currently have any resources to devote to cloud services BELNET Bélgica Em análise E- mail services might be interesjng for some of the smaller insjtujons.

15 NRENs Cloud Services in Europe NREN País Status Inicia/va SWITCH Suíça Em análise CYNET Chipre Sem planos - SWITCH was discussing these topics with the community and were starjng to offer sozware as a service. They felt that cloud services would become an issue in the future. SUNET Suécia Em análise Currently much discussion about this subject in Sweden. UNINETT Noruega Em análise The topic of clouds is much discussed in Norway. UIIP / NASB Bielorússia Em análise SigmaNet Letônia Sem planos There is interest in cloud services in Belarus and that there are plans for a cross- border project with Vilnius University SigmaNet is hoping to use European Structural Funds to enable work in this area LITNET Lituânia Sem planos For the Jme being, things are lez to the individual insjtujons. ANAS Azerbaijão Em análise UNI- C Dinamarca Em análise A supercompujng centre had been established in Azerbaijan and that the Academy of Sciences was currently studying cloud services. In Denmark there are serious problems raised by the data protecjon agency which is reportedly suspicious of cloud services. EENet Estônia Em análise There have been some discussions in Estonia, but no big projects.

18 In Brasil More than 300 public universities and research centers all currently connected to RNP backbone (rede Ipê); +72K teachers and researchers; +250K admin and tec personnel; +1.3M students. 18

19 In Brasil What are the demands? What can go to the cloud? How our institutions are using or plan to use cloud services? How to share cloud contracts? Can we share computing centers resources in a cloud model for the universites and research centers?
