- 7. EUBrazilCC & Cloud computing challenges • Data Flow and Portability • Data-centric solution, moving computing close to data stores thanks to the implementation of cloud resources federation • Vendor lock-in • Adoption (and extension of OCCI) of standards • Implementation of interoperable components • Infrastructure-agnostic platform • Industry interested in open source solutions to be integrated in their services • Other general cloud policy aspects • Reduce requirements and maximize site autonomy in the federation of resources. 09/05/2016 7
- 8. Hurdles & recommendations • Data flows and Portability • Federation of cloud resources is the way forward • Need to have computing resources aside data stores • Need to replicate and synchronize reference data • Vendor lock-in • Concern on the adoption of standards by industry • Still complex preparation of VMIs, contextualization is easier for final users • Variety of solutions however increases complexity • Need for differentiation • Research infrastructures cannot compete in cost with public clouds – need to provide not covered functionality 09/05/2016 8
