Program Prezidium RAS №13

As it’s known distributed computing is a method of the solution of labor-consuming computing tasks with use of several computers more often integrated in the parallel computing system.

Grid и Cloud computing are the form of the distributed computing and represent purely heterogeneous environment

Distributed computingGrid и Cloud

Grid - the coordinated, opened and standardized environment which provides the flexible, safe, coordinated division of resources within the virtual organization.*

Grid computing

* Ian Foster, Carl Kesselman “The Anatomy of the Grid”

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.*

Сloud computing

*NIST Definition of Cloud Computing

Heterogeneous environment Using as a common Internet communication

environment There’s an “interoperability problem”

Common features of Grid и Cloud computing

The ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged.*

It is reached by means of use of the coordinated sets of IT standards – profiles.

Interoperability

In the world: Open Grid Forum (OGF) Standards ( nearly 200

documents) In Russia:

The first national standard GOST R «Job Submission Description Language (JSDL)» is in the stage of affirming (IRE RAS)

The second national standard GOST R «The Model of the opened Grid environment» is in the stage of development (IRE RAS)

Achievements in the field of Grid standardization

In the world: Large number of organizations all over the world

working in this field (e.g. The Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum (CCIF))

In Russia - Mincomsvyaz RF: Federal program «Information society» Subprogram «National platform for distributed

data processing» is developed The consortium for development of standards

is organized

Status of operations on Cloud computing

THE CLOUD COMPUTING INTEROPERABILITY FORUMThe Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum (CCIF) was formed in order to enable a global cloud computing ecosystem whereby organizations are able to seamlessly

work together for the purposes for wider industry adoption of cloud computing technology and related services. A key focus will be placed on the creation of a

common agreed upon framework / ontology that enables the ability of two or more cloud platforms to exchange information in an unified manor.

MissionCCIF is an open, vendor neutral, not for profit community of technology advocates, and consumers dedicated to driving the rapid adoption of global cloud computing

services. CCIF shall accomplish this by working through the use open forums (physical and virtual) focused on building community consensus, exploring emerging trends, and advocating best practices / reference architectures for the purposes of

standardized cloud computing.

Additional Initiatives Open Grid Forum – 2 standards:

- GFD-P-R183 «Open Сloud Сomputing Interface - СORE»

- GFD-P-R184 «Open Cloud Computing Interface - Infrastructure»

Cloud4SOA - http://www.cloud4soa.eu/ Objective: CLOUD4SOA focuses on resolving the

interoperability and portability issues that exist in current Clouds infrastructures and on introducing a user-centric approach for applications which are built upon and deployed using Cloud resources. To this end, Cloud4SOA aims to combine three fundamental and complementary computing paradigms, namely Cloud computing, Service Oriented Architectures and lightweight semantics to propose a reference architecture and deploy fully operational prototypes.

Profile

Cloud computing is purely a heterogeneous environment

There arises the problem of interaction of its constituent systems, known as "interoperability problem“

Based on a uniform approach it is necessary: to create the Interoperability Framework to choose architecture and model to build profile of standards standards must be national, but harmonized with

international We invite all interested party for cooperation!
