A changing IT economy

Infrastructure / Platform / Software

Commodities provided “as a Service”

“The economics of cloud computing are driving down the cost structure of business so far and so fast that it’s scary”�

Google CIO, May 2012

“There is a potential community of ~50.000 independent software vendors in the EU which require new ways to offer

solutions and services”�EC Experts Group, March 2012

New services

Data as a Service •  Create Data Marketplaces

•  Leverage Linked Open Data (LOD)

•  Design for data quality & traceability from the start

Processors (software) as a Service •  Sell usage right at low cost units (pay-as-you-go)

•  Provide entry-level online presence

•  Design for usage monitoring from the start

Concept of operation

Page 16: Values & Vision - Cloud Sandboxes for BIG Earth Sciences

New development cycles

•  Scientific developers use Cloud Sandboxes to !implement, test and validate algorithms

•  Includes tools for data discovery, parallelization, and results validation

Python, CDAT, R, BEAM, BEAT

Page 17: Values & Vision - Cloud Sandboxes for BIG Earth Sciences

Cloud Compute deployments

•  After validation, researchers deploy algorithms to a selected Cloud Infrastructure

•  Deployed ‘Processor as a Service’ access complete pools of datasets,!run application !intensive computing, !and store processor !outputs back to the lab

BIG DATA ANALYTICS next steps

Page 19: Values & Vision - Cloud Sandboxes for BIG Earth Sciences

Platform engine: swarming Open Science – A Future Vision

•  Rapid deployment of data and processors

•  Quality-driven aggregations of sensor feeds and earth models

•  Scalable services providing cost-effectiveness

•  Scientific information velocity

Platform gears: analytics

What does it take for a Cloud Sandbox developer to test a job chaining ?

What are the data needed for an area of interest at a given time span ?

What are the data archive gaps compared to the platform usages ? …

Analytics can answer such questions, from assets such as:

•  Volume of information generated from the platform user logs, sandbox trials, platform searches and tickets issuing, website browsing patterns, login counts…

•  Volume of information available from open data on the Web, within OpenSearch catalogs, scientific blogs, twitter feeds, stack overflow posts

•  …
