11 RNP CLOUD STRATEGY (UPDATE) BRINGING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER

12 RNP Cloud Strategy The Chalenge Answer the growing storage and computing demands to support scientific and technological applications in a flexible, escalable and sustainable way, and foster knowledge and technological development in cloud computing by the Brazilian IT community.

13 RNP Cloud Strategy The Benefits Decrease the fragility shown by several public universities and research centers in managing a growing amount of information and their infrastructure related resources; Look for cost reduction opportunities in hardware, software, services and operation for the whole academic system; Provide a robust and cost-effective infrastructure to host national platforms for research and education; Offer a repository to store and preserve digital and digitalized content; Develop competencies in the country to design, build and operate cloud computing data center and services;

20 CURRENT STATUS IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATION

21 CURRENT STATUS Partners, customers and services

22 CURRENT STATUS Integration with other initiatives and projects SIBBr - Data bases and applications of the OpenBio project. Advanced Visualization - Repository of high definition images and videos (4k, 8k 3D) Portal de.periódicos CAPES Hosting of the CAPES Scientific Journal Portal RUTE (Rede Universitária de Telemedicina) Storage and sharing for the video repository and web conference session recordings; Cooperation Program MinC/RNP Digital Content exchange program (ICD) in collaboration with Cinemateca Brasileira e Banco de Conteúdos Culturais (BCC)

23 CDC Current Status Manaus (INPA) and Recife (IFPE) CDC Manaus is operational and is prepared to host cloud services The chosen cloud platform is Cloudstack It will be used as a testbed for the national cloud model CDC Recife will host RNP national platforms Infrastructure is prepared for operation Services are on hold waiting for partner s applications modelling IDC Brasilia Will be prepared to integrate the federated infrastructure CRA Cinemateca São Paulo Planned to integrate the cloud infrastructure

24 CDC CURRENT STATUS Available capacity: 744 processing cores, 6,5 Terabytes of RAM and 1,7 Petabytes of (raw) storage. VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) pilot within RNP (used by the ESR) based on Huawei VDI solution. CDC Recife is being prepared to host the cnccloud storage service like Dropbox, using the OwnCloud interface; FOGBOW tests as the middleware for the federated services; Definition of the accounting and billing and model;

25 NEXT STEPS

26 RNP Cloud Next Steps National Platforms services in CDC-Recife 2Q /2016 with CAPES with cnccloud /.periódicos Portal FNDE Object Store still discussing Some of RNP s corporate IT infrastructure FOGBOW pilot - integration with CDC Manaus Analysis and discussion of the possible scenarios for the community model: 1) Entirely private cloud managed and operated by RNP 2) Community with obligation all participants should share resources 3) Opportunistic Community no obligation to share resources, but costs 4) Balanced Opportunistic Community with the use of FOGBOW 5) Distributed Community FOGBOW-based accounting and billing
