Big Data & Cloud 4 th European Summit on the Future Internet António Miguel Ferreira, CEO, Lunacloud Aveiro, 13 to 14th June 2013
? About
Lunacloud is a cloud infrastructure and platform services provider (IaaS + PaaS), with datacenters in the UK, Portugal, France and Russia (July 2013).
1. The Cloud is a more efficient way of using IT resources. 2. High-end compute & storage resources are now widely available through the global Internet. 3. A whole new set of challenges may be addressed quickly and with lower costs.
Cloud use case 1 IT research
Altoros Product engineering in areas such as implementation of NoSQL and NewSQL storage systems, Hadoop distributed computing, etc. Offices in Silicon Valley (Sunnyvale, California), Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, UK, Eastern Europe (Minsk, Belarus) and South America (Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Argentina). Challenge #1: NoSQL benchmarking Testing of different NoSQL databases against various types of workloads: Cassandra, MongoDB, Riak, Couchbase, MySQL Cluster, and Hbase. Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB) used to evaluate performance. Infrastructure needs 120 virtual machines with a total of 960 GB RAM + 920 CPU Cores + 12 TB local storage... For only 15 days! Traditional IT capex = 100.000 Cloud IaaS cost = 8.000

Challenge #2: Hadoop benchmarking Testing different Hadoop distribution packages to assess their performance, ease of use, functionality, etc: Apache Hadoop; CDH, Cloudera's Distribution, including Apache Hadoop; HDP, Hortonworks Data Platform; MapR M3 Edition; Intel Hadoop; Pivotal HD. TeraSort benchmark to measure performance. Infrastructure needs 250 virtual machines with a total of 2000 GB RAM + 2000 CPU Cores + 25TB local storage... For only 25 days! Traditional IT capex = 200.000 Cloud IaaS cost = 28.000
Concepts Use case 1: 1.Immediate availability 2.Elasticity 3.Pay per use
Cloud use case 2 Entertainment
Music Stage Social network for independent bands and musicians. Challenge: Multimedia storage 10 s or 100 s of thousands of bands and artists want to upload 10 s or 100 s of musics and videos, each with 4 to 30 MB in size. Need for unlimited storage space with no upfront investment. Infrastructure needs Up to 100.000 bands x (100 musics + 10 videos) = 60TB, spread across the world Growing from 1 band to 100.000 bands, without worrying about storage, resilience and geographical coverage.
Concepts Use case 2 1.Elasticity 2.On-demand self-service (API) 3.Broad network access
Big Data NoSQL Our case
Cloud Storage Unlimited virtual disk accessible through a web interface or an API. Applications can use cloud storage to place any objects. Data is replicated in at least 3 different physical stores. Built over a NoSQL Cassandra database. Cloud Mongo MongoDB as a Service, with single or replicated instances, provisioned through a point-and-click web interface. It allows developers of applications to focus on code, not database management.
The future of the Cloud In our view IaaS is a commodity, a utility service, that is best when infrastructure is closer to customers, in nearby datacenters. PaaS is a differentiator and will accelerate innovation. SaaS is where most of the activity and innovation takes place.
