INDIGO DataCloud The Consortium RIA-653549 Indigo-DataCloud kick-off meeting Bologna, April 22-24 2015 Luciano Gaido, INFN-Torino gaido@to.infn.it
The INDIGO-DataCloud Consortium The project aims at linking and harmonizing three different views : the advanced users and software developers view focus: exploiting the existing components and services; identifying and developing the missing ones in order to fill the gaps the computing centers view focus: make their resources available to a vast variety of user communities maximizing efficiency the end-users view focus: getting easy access to platforms and services (e.g. via web portals or mobile apps). The expertise of the Consortium spans all these three areas. 2 INDIGO-DataCloud RIA-653549
The INDIGO-DataCloud Consortium 26 partners from 11 countries The exagon contains the partners involved in development activities From the EC Evaluation Summary Report: The consortium is of exceptional quality, and complementary, and with good relevant experience and skills 3 INDIGO-DataCloud RIA-653549
The Consortium geographical view (1/2) 26 Participants: 4 Private Companies in 3 countries: Spain: Atos Spain SA + Atos Netherlands; INDRA Sistemas S.A. Italy: Santer Reply Germany: T-Systems International Gmbh 1 Ministerial Institute: ICCU (Italy) EGI.eu (Netherlands) 4 INDIGO-DataCloud RIA-653549
The Consortium geographical view (2/2) 20 Universities, Research Institutions/Laboratories, EIROs, Consortia in 11 countries: Croatia: RBI Czech Republic: CESNET France: CEA, CNRS Germany: DESY, KIT Italy: INFN, INAF , INGV, CIRMMP , CMCC, CNR Netherlands: UU Poland: CYFRONET(AGH/AGH-UST), IBCH-PAS (PSNC) Portugal: LIP Spain: CSIC, UPV Switzerland: CERN UK: STFC 5 INDIGO-DataCloud RIA-653549
The Consortium thematic view (1/6) The INDIGO-DC Consortium includes the most prominent institutions in the development, deployment and operation of distributed computing across Europe. It includes: expertise on platform development for advanced users: INFN (Project coordinator), UPV, CSIC and CYFRONET. They have a demonstrated experience in developing advanced tools to support e-science environments expertise on the data access: DESY, KIT, CYFRONET and PSNC. This is fundamental to ensure that the high level services of the PaaS can interact properly with the current data infrastructures. 6 INDIGO-DataCloud RIA-653549
The Consortium thematic view (2/6) expertise and direct involvement in OpenStack and OpenNebula: CERN, CSIC, INFN, CESNET, KIT, UPV, PSNC involvement in definition and evolution of standards in cloud computing (OCCI) and storage (CDMI) areas: DESY, KIT, CSIC, CESNET, INFN; this is required to facilitate the development of open solutions to avoid vendor lock-ins expertise on coordination of large, distributed and interoperable HTC infrastructures, cloud resources (EGI FedCloud) and gathering of user requirements: EGI.eu very large resource centers: INFN, KIT, DESY, CSIC, UPV, CNRS, CEA, LIP, CYFRONET, PSNC and STFC 7 INDIGO-DataCloud RIA-653549
The Consortium thematic view (3/6) top commercial providers and service developers involved in Helix Nebula (T-Systems, ATOS and INDRA) and other initiatives (REPLY). They will contribute to PaaS development to grant a connection between the PaaS layer and their IaaS solutions CERN will promote the INDIGO results towards the publicly-funded demand-side organizations within Helix Nebula Connection to EUDAT (KIT, PSNC), PRACE (PSNC) and GEANT (CESNET, LIP, PSNC) various important user communities > see next slides 8 INDIGO-DataCloud RIA-653549
The Consortium thematic view (4/6) Environmental area: CSIC, LIP and UPV are in charge of bridging to INDIGO the interest of the LIFEWATCH Biodiversity ESFRI; CMCC represents ENES, the European Network for Earth System Modeling; INGV brings the interest of EMSO-ERIC Research Infrastructure and will represent it in the first phase of the ERIC establishment. 9 INDIGO-DataCloud RIA-653549
The Consortium thematic view (5/6) Bioinformatics area: the Structural Biology community is represented by the University of Utrecht and CIRMMP (both INSTRUCT reference centers) Medical Imaging and Bio Banks, are represented by UPV (part of an EuroBioImaging ESFRI node and in collaboration with BBMRI ESFRI) and CNR (Elixir- Italy) Arts and Humanities area: RBI and ICCU represent the ESFRI DARIAH. Their participation is essential to integrate and disseminate the outcomes of the project toward the INDIGO-DataCloud RIA-653549 large community of Cultural Institutions in Europe. 10
The Consortium thematic view (6/6) High Energy Physics and Astrophysics CERN, hosting the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), plays the role of Research Infrastructure operator and representative of the high energy physics research community providing key use cases ( conduit to HEP/wLCG). INFN will feed input and requirements from its sites, infrastructure and HEP and astro-particle experiments it collaborates to onto the project INAF will bring in the requirements of two data intensive oriented experiments, Cherenkov Telescope INDIGO-DataCloud RIA-653549 Array (CTA) and Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). 11
