Obiettivo investigate, develop and deploy solutions to boost the adoption of innovative cloud services in Europe based on resource federation In pratica: Objective 1. Provide a toolkit for the federation of heterogeneous cloud infrastructures Objective 2. Provide a suite of PaaS and SaaS services for high performance big data management and processing Objective 3. Build trust and confidence in cloud services Objective 4. Business development through innovation

Expected Outcomes (1/2) Objective 1. Provide a toolkit for the federation of heterogeneous cloud infrastructures importante per l’exploitment sia in cloud private (compresa la FedCloud di EGI) sia pubbliche (SME) Objective 2. Provide a suite of PaaS and SaaS services for high performance big data management and processing ‘problema’ dei Big Data: volume, variety, velocity Objective 3. Build trust and confidence in cloud services Outcome: o A toolkit for identity management, authentication and authorization for a federated cloud which allows the secure composition of services. o Secure federated storage.

Expected Outcomes (2/2) Objective 4. Business development through innovation Transparent Cloud market providing tools and applications for commercial exploitation at three different levels: a.Specialized technical tools for ICT companies to provide a federated IaaS b.New high performance tools to commercially offer PaaS services for data analysis, enabled by the large-scale federation of resources c.Best practices for the deployment of user-friendly and customer- specific SaaS running on a federated heterogeneous cloud infrastructure, offering contextualization.

Le SME sono state selezionate in base agli use case, che sono alla base degli svliluppi (input: requirement) e che poi incidono sugli impact factor (outcome)
