EOSC-hub Proposal congiunto tra EGI, EUDAT e INDIGO-DataCloud per la call EINFRA-12, topic a: Secure and agile data and distributed computing e-infrastructures: fostering the integration of a secure, permanent, on-demand service-driven, privacy-compliant and sustainable e-infrastructure incorporating distributed databases, computing resources and software. The challenge is to integrate at European level the geographically and disciplinary dispersed resources to achieve economies of scale and efficiency gains in providing the best data and computing capacity and services to the research and education communities. This action is interrelated to INFRADEV-04-2016, “European Open Science Cloud for Research”.

EOSC-hub Oltre a background e strutture di gestione diverse, c’è un’altra differenza sostanziale: EGI e EUDAT sono (o sono considerate) infrastrutture mentre INDIGO-DataCloud è un progetto di sviluppo software

DEEP-HybridDataCloud: project description

DEEP-HybridDataCloud: obiettivi Objective 1: Focus the interest of intensive computing techniques on the analysis of very large datasets, considering demanding cases from different research communities, in the context of the future generations of e-infrastructure. Objective 2: Evolve, up to production level, intensive computing services exploiting specialized hardware components, like GPUs, low-latency interconnects, and others usually accessed as “bare metal” resources. The services, based on open source software, will follow existing standards to guarantee their deployment and orchestration on different platforms. Objective 3: Integrate the intensive computing services under a Hybrid Cloud approach, assuring interoperability with the existing EOSC platforms and their services.

DEEP-HybridDataCloud: obiettivi (cont) Objective 4: Define a “DEEP as a Service” solution to offer an easy integration path to the developers of final applications. Objective 5: Analyse the complementarity with other ongoing projects targeting added value services for the cloud, in particular those related to the management of extremely large datasets. Global Objective: Promote the use of intensive computing services by different research communities and areas, and their support by the corresponding e-infrastructure providers and open source projects. Areas for dissemination via pilot applications: Medical Images, Citizen Science, Earth Observation, Post-processing very large datasets coming from large scale simulations in Lattice QCD, Genomics, RadioAstronomy

SCALE-UP Open DataCloud Titolo: titolo provvisorio INDIGO-DataExtreme Call: ICT-16-2017, topic: Big data PPP: research addressing main technology challenges of the data economy Proposal in preparazione, scadenza call: 25.4 2017 Budget indicativo: 5 M€ Coordinatore: ATOS Coinvolgimento di diverse ditte (Bull, Ontotext, EBIT S.r.l. e probabilmente anche una ditta operante nel campo dei satelliti) Scopo: indirizzare soluzioni software innovative legate a big data partendo da INDIGO-DataCloud e dal proposal DEEP-HybridDataCloud. Il consorzio comprende inoltre CSIC, INFN, LIP, UPV, ATOS, PSNC, IISAS (Slovak Academy of Science).

Conclusioni/1 Le competenze e l’esperienza maturate dall’INFN nei progetti Grid fino al FP7, e la posizione di rilevanza a livello internazionale sono state mantenute nella prima fase del programma H2020 (WP 2014-2015), nonostante il salto tecnologico con il passaggio al Cloud Computing. Ne sono prova la leadership di INDIGO-DataCloud e il ruolo rilevante in EGI_Engage e West-life. Nel WP 2016-2017 la rilevanza a livello europeo è confermata dal ruolo dell’INFN nei vari proposal presentati  importante la capitalizzazione di quanto fatto nei progetti precedenti è importante anche a livello nazionale, ma serve una strategia comune con gli altri enti di ricerca per fare massa critica Per l’INFN i finanziamenti dai progetti europei sono molto importanti per ovvie ragioni, ma questo non basta….

Conclusioni/2 Lo ‘scollamento’ tra quanto fatto nei progetti ICT, in particolare quelli finanziati dalla EC, e le attività ‘core’ dell’INFN è stato avvertito in modo forte nei progetti Grid (da EGI_Inspire in poi) Il riavvicinamento è cominciato già in INDIGO-DataCloud e si è rafforzato in EOSC-hub (ad es. Con il TS DODAS) Qui le sezioni INFN non direttamente coinvolte nei progetti europei possono avere un ruolo importante: negli esperimenti INFN nei resource/data center INFN. E nella Corporate Cloud? Ma questo deve essere supportato da una azione decisa di dissemination (compreso training) ed exploitation Questa dovrebbe essere parte della strategia dell’INFN.
