CERN s Roadmap Short- to Medium-Term Managed virtualized batch environment adapting dynamically to changing workload (private cloud, transparent to users) Medium- to Long-Term Cloud environment for all services Facilities unit owns building infrastructure and server hardware; service units allocated VMs CERN IT Department CH-1211 Genève 23 Switzerland www.cern.ch/it Globally Exchange virtual machines between HEP sites Devolve management of job scheduling to experiments They know best the relative priorities of the competing analysis groups and how they change Interface to commercial clouds, either as part of overall policy for resource provisioning, or to handle completely unforeseen peak loads CERN 2010 Towards a Private Cloud Infrastructure at CERN Slide 15
Test/Dev Cloud Java Application Software.Net and C++ Teams Development Teams Build Environment Many software development groups distributed globally Challenge Platform ISF Siloed build and development environments within each group (30+ apps) Slow software build process and wasted configuration time to set up environments Duplication of effort across teams Solution Consolidated Java application development environment into cloud. Dynamically create environments for development and build Benefits Shared environment for application development across global teams Increased developer productivity Proving ground for production application cloud 16 Copyright 2010 Platform Computing Corporation.
