1. Introduc+on and Background – Cloud Services – so far – Feasibility Study – Next Steps – Procurement, POC
2. Service Overview – Service Profile – The Architecture & principles – The Service Features/Characteris+cs
3. Your Requirements – Use Cases – Service Demand / Forecast
– Risks
• Client discussions & SEG => Cloud Compute
• E-‐Infrastructure Whitepaper
• Vision for a Cloud Compute service
• Cloud Compu+ng and E-‐Infrastructure Strategy
• Feasibility Study – client requirements & use cases
• Infrastructure Prototype / Technology evalua+on – Public : Amazon, HP, Rackspace, Azure
– VMware, Openstack, Cloudstack, Eucalyptus
• Business Case Development – Costs, demand, funding, delivery plan
• Edustorage
Edustorage
1. Evaluate the viability and benefits of HEAnet providing a poten+al future HEAnet Cloud Compute service i.e. is it realis+c for HEAnet to do, if so what would such a service look like ?
2. Evaluate the poten+al the Cloud Services Broker (CSB) model
3. Evaluate the key success factors and requirements necessary to develop and launch the service
4. Iden+fy sources of exper+se for the feasibility study and project
5. Evaluate Client readiness and likely take-‐up
6. Evaluate the capabili+es of HEAnet to meet client requirements & expecta+on
7. Evaluate the opera+onal models for delivering a Cloud Service and the corresponding HEAnet capabili+es, Resources & Skillsets
8. Evaluate Cloud landscape – manufacturers, products, service providers.
9. Risk analysis
1. Gather feedback from HEAnet clients by interview based on a ques+onnaire from a representa+ve group of clients , (8/13) -‐ AIT, CIT, LIT, WIT, UCC, UCD, TCD, EPA.
2. Iden+fy and use sources of exper+se and resources for feasibility study / project within the HEAnet community.
3. Review HEAnet Cloud Strategy/E-‐infrastructure document
4. Gather feedback from NREN sources with cloud experience -‐ GRNET, SURFNet, NIIF
5. Gather feedback from external experts -‐ CIT, Gartner
6. Evalua+on of poten+al cloud suppliers & products in the marketplace – BT, Rackspace, Canonical, VMware, Triangle, Rightscale, DELL
7. Define criteria for Cloud product/vendor evalua+on
• Posi+ve towards proposed service and HEAnet as provider • Must re realis+c in terms of scale and s+ll relevant for clients
• See HEAnet as having key advantages and benefits compared to other providers (gov and public)
• See a variety of benefits but no common theme/use case
• Clients are very early in their journey and cau+ous – approach has been opportunis+c rather than strategic
• Client involvement in POC/ Pilot vital
• Concerns – Service quality, Data protec+on/backup, Security, Control, Vendor lock-‐in, Govt cloud/others, HEAnet capability
• Can expect that clients will pay a premium vs public services
• Valuable insights – clients, vendors, NRENs, tech/products • Cloud Compute is a risky proposi+on as a service
• Cloud Compute can be extended with CSB approach
• Extremely broad range of opportuni+es and applica+ons
• No best prac+ce or proven approach • Vendor solu+ons and technologies are not mature – cau+ous
approach required – VMware most advanced & expensive
• S+ck with an “off the shelf” approach not development and start with a basic core service
• Resources & skillsets are a major success factor
• A POC/Pilot is essen+al to prove vendor, technology, gain experience
Procurement – RFT : Servers, Network, CMP solu+on
– Evalua+on
POC – to prove vendor/technology/learn technology – To gain experience of the products/technologies – HEAnet – Edugate integra+on – Test client pilot use cases – Func+onal & Acceptance tes+ng & decision to proceed
Pilot Phase – Onboard 2-‐3 clients with 5-‐10 VMs
Develop SLA, Service Promo+on
Timelines – Q3 Procurement, Q4 POC
• Realis+c service & shaped by client needs => CCDIR input • Cost effec+ve / compe++ve service
• IaaS – community cloud
• Federated User self service Portal – intended for IT staff • U+lity service -‐ VMs on demand
• Size & shape = + + + • Secure separa+on within clients and between clients • Client management & monitoring tools
• Build on Edustorage • SLA
• Web Base UI – federated by Edugate
• Clients can launch VMs -‐ different flavours, Access storage
• Connec+vity to campus & internet op+ons
• Unmanaged backup – storage target and/or campus, other
• Segrega+on between clients and within clients • New Infrastructure in 2 HEAnet DCs + possibly 1 client DC • Service Level availability > 99.5% -‐ none, bronze, silver, gold • Edugate + Edustorage integra+on • Billing per hour, month, quarter
