- 2. Strategic Plan Establish multi- tenant, multi- provider cloud infrastructure Identify and adopt policies for trust, security and privacy Create governance structure Define funding schemes To support the computing capacity needs for the ATLAS experiment Setting up a new service to simplify analysis of large genomes, for a deeper insight into evolution and biodiversity To create an Earth Observation platform, focusing on earthquake and volcano research To improve the speed and quality of research for finding surrogate biomarkers based on brain images Adopters Suppliers Additional Users: Updated October 2016 The Helix Nebula Science Cloud public-private partnership 21/12/2016 This input based on experience gathered by Helix Nebula members

IaaS can be introduced without impacting higher-level user-facing services that will require a significant software investment. It also represents a strategy with lower risk because the IaaS market is more mature than the PaaS and SaaS markets.’ EIROforum paper IaaS PaaS/SaaS 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 PICSE Procurement model 2021 2022 Use PCP/PPI to grow the EOSC service catalog in a predictable yet competitive manner
- 7. N N+1 N+2 Staying up to date 21/12/2016 The average lifetime of IT technology is less than 5 years. 5 years 5 years 5 years Repeat investment over successive technology cycles to keep the EOSC service catalog up to date and relevant

Service Lifecycle Bob Jones, CERN 8 Defines platform service lifecycle that will govern how services enter into production and are eventually retired Credit: Net+ http://www.internet2.edu/vision-initiatives/initiatives/internet2-netplus/ PCP/PPI for service innovation framework for commodity procurement Service catalog
- 9. • Funding agencies • Research Infrastructures • Public & Commercial Service Providers • Users Data & software Service providers Funding & policy Data providers, Comm. channel to users EOSC service marketplace 21/12/2016 Service sustainability will rely on an economic model with a flexible payment scheme that allows researchers to have free-at-the-point-of-use access while providing a means to route money from multiple funding sources to service providers according to metered usage by end-users Build a service marketplace where service providers can participate & compete
- 10. https://cbiit.nci.nih.gov/ncip/nci-cancer-genomics-cloud-pilots/cloud-credits Associate a credit scheme with EOSC marketplace to encourage uptake of services by researchers & SMEs
- 11. Summary HNSciCloud demonstrates the PCP instrument can be used to incite public and commercial providers to develop innovative services that satisfy the needs of Europe’s research communities A significant number of FP7 and H2020 projects were cited in the bids as sources of innovation contributing to the proposed solutions This suggests that PCP offers a potential exploitation path for the results of EC funded R&D projects There is a willingness by suppliers to develop standards-based solutions This includes adhering to certification schemes for service providers and evolving existing products so that they can be delivered according to equitable service level agreements Different funding instruments will be required at different phases of the service lifecycle They should be combined to form a value chain which can accommodate multiple funding streams 21/12/2016
Editor's Notes
- #5: Research organisations from 7 countries have proposed to work together to develop a cross-border joint procurement of innovative cloud services. This is an important change: never before have research organisations across Europe pooled their funds and resources to procure cloud services to support their scientific programmes. eduGAIN federated identity mgmt. should include commercial identity providers taking into account multiple levels of assurance.
