- 2. Cloud Computing? • Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management e ort or service provider interaction* • Cloud Computing ≠ Web 2.0 * Source: NIST, National Institute of Standards and Technology Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 2 Thursday, June 16, 11

- 11. Basis of IaaS is Virtualization • Increases e ciency (cost, consolidation, abstraction, administration) • Despite the shared hardware / point of failure Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 11 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 12. Availability • (near) Real-time transfer at failure of physical hardware, or when planned, migration without downtime of running virtual machine and its storage Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 12 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 13. Business Continuity • Disaster at University of Twente in 2002 increased focus for on-site redundancy • However for continuity and disaster recovery virtualization is a better solution Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 13 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 14. Cost of Storage Source: Sir Ken Robison Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 14 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 15. Drivers Cont’d • Cost reduction - Budget cuts - Rising power costs • Service improvement - Better service provisioning - Best-of-breed services - Increased agility in software deployment • ‘Green Computing’ trend - Reduce energy consumption - Data centers can use >10% of power for an entire campus - IT produces 2% of global carbon dioxide emissions Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 15 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 16. Cloud Models Community Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht Thursday, June 16, 11
- 17. IaaS Cloud Models (2) • Private cloud - enterprise owned or leased • Public cloud - sold to the public, mega-scale infrastructure • Hybrid cloud - composition of two or more clouds models • Community cloud - shared infrastructure for specific community Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 17 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 18. Level of Adaptation • Very gradual migration towards public cloud - First start with a private cloud • Hybrid operation for years to come (5-10 years) • Local data center is becoming a private cloud, driven by widespread usage of virtualization • More and more resources in own data center ready for migration to the cloud • Migration at di erent levels: currently mostly at IaaS, moving to PaaS and SaaS later on mostly for generic services (e.g. email, etc.) Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 18 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 19. Community Cloud • Functional features mostly in line with public cloud - Virtualization / image & instance management - Storage / object & block level - Self-service through management console • Added value of community dimension - Control — Legal and Innovation - Saves money - Su cient flexibility to meet the community’s needs - Standardization to prevent lock-in - Network integration Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 19 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 20. Full Control • Full control over data location • Mechanisms to enforce storage within a single legal jurisdiction - Only a single (Dutch) legislation is applicable - Reduces the complexity and costs of compliance to a very significant degree - EU Data Protection Directive specifies that national laws will generally apply when personal data processing is carried out • Community controls at which points to innovate - Stronger negotiation position - Easier to swap suppliers Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 20 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 21. Network integration • Close integration with SURFnet backbone • Close integration with own network • Dedicated lightpaths possible • Low latency • No costs for data communication (depends on billing model) Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 21 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 22. Saves money • Combined network and Community Cloud subscription o ers benefits (e.g. reduced costs for bandwidth) • Central support for operation and maintenance • Shared purchasing of IaaS • Reduced power consumption (at least locally) Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 22 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 23. Community Cloud Models Federated Brokered Institution A Institution B Institution C Institution A Institution B IaaS IaaS IaaS Broker Institution C IaaS IaaS IaaS Provider X Provider Y Sharing of own institutional Sharing of third party resources via resources broker Broker procures third party resources Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 23 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 24. Federated model • Sharing of over capacity • Not supported by current products • Di cult to tackle liability issues - What is the legal impact of a service outage? • Billing - Who pays for support/maintenance and operational costs? = Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 24 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 25. Brokered model • Takes care of trust establishment and contract settlement - just one party to trust and one contract to sign • Broker can handle disputes in the cloud • More transparent in terms of - Operation and Accountability - Awareness raising - Guidance on expectations regarding the use of the Community Cloud - Levels of security - Meeting legal obligations (compliance) • No need to tender Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 25 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 26. Brokered model (2) • Continuity - Commercial providers may go out of business • Institutions do not need to test themselves whether a cloud provider is e ectively mitigating risks - Broker can do that for the community • Broker can provide value-adding services - Federated identity management, lightpaths, resource federation • Supported by various vendors and products Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 26 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 27. Self Service is Essential • Virtualized environment, component “shopping” • Self-service! Public: pay-as-you-go • Support for Private, Hybrid, Public Hardware vendors • Quickly up and running: - Website down? Data available? Recipe! - Extra load (e.g. spam filtering)? - Datacenter loss? - Elasticity also in a private cloud. • Optional security: VPC, VPN, VLANs Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 27 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 28. Demo Self Service Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 28 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 29. Done deal? • Licensing? • Security and privacy? • Standardization? - Data and customer application portability - Common interfaces, semantics, programming models - Federated security services - Provisioning • Accounting & billing: pay for what you use • Overall SLA of a multi-cloud environment o ering may be hard to predict • Migration not straight forward Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 29 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 30. Current Activities SURFnet • SURFnet is using external private cloud (SURFcloud) to run their services, but on self-owned hardware - Load balancing experiments with Amazon EC2 • Experimental setup of community cloud - For the moment in-house at SURFnet • Expected participants - University of Groningen - To make website redundant - Open University - For their OTAP environment Community Clouds - Cloud Seminar - 16 June 2011,- Utrecht 30 Thursday, June 16, 11
- 31. We need you! • You as a community determine if we go ahead with this (and this is a good time to provide feedback)… • What features or conditions are most important? • What does it take to persuade you to use the Community Cloud, if it were build? • What do you see as potential obstacles in the adaptation of a Community Cloud? • Are you interested in participating in the pilot?
