Big Science and Big Data

Public Cloud should be a disruptive technology for Scientific Research !

• Global access to GEO Data for all PI’s• Elasticity and Scale-on-demand compute• Data-as-a-Service • Science PaaS – the software tools for investigation

already packaged, licensed (pay-per-use) and ready to run

• Transparent and seamless networking• Cost control – pay-per-use, quotas

Big Science and Big Data

• Federated multi-cloud architecture• CloudSigma is strongly committed to Helix Nebula• BlueBox disintermediation• Catalog of Services and Costs 

• Networking critical to effective service delivery• Europe in unique position with highly advanced academic

networking and connectivity• Inject vitality of commercial public cloud providers offering

value-added services that leverage high speed data access over the GEANT network staying within the non-compete remit of GEANT (i.e. for academic users)

Helix Nebula

• Helix Nebula FP7 – The Science Cloud

• Commercial Public Clouds and Big Science

• Cloud vendors sitting behind a common access, identity and provisioning platform for ease of use

• Opportunity for more the fragmented European market to offer scale and cost control to scientific computing users PLUS service specialization

• There is no one single cloud solution, purveyors of perfect solutions to everything make us nervous!

CloudSigma VisionProject Correlation

• Goal: Help make DATA into INFORMATION

• We will host Big Data for low or no cost

• Interface to Big Data providers

• Encourage data owners to offer credits to PI’s

• Provide cloud compute to researchers / PI’s

• Enable DaaS across: many clouds, many databases, many scientific domains

• Cost scaling (e.g. results in: 1h, 1d, 1w)

• Enhance Correlation outcomes……

CloudSigma VisionProject Correlation

• Enhance Correlation outcomes……

• ESA: EO/SAR Soil moisture sensor +

• WHO: Malaria fatalities +

• CSO: Population density map =

• Better mosquito eradication programs

• Ethical Computing !!!

Correlations

Correlations can be Commercial and/or Ethical Soil Moisture + Price of wheat = Food secure world

Sea currents + Salinity = Sustainable village fishing

Proteins + Drug trial = Safer medical outcomes

Subsidence + Pop density = Better insurance focus

Proton collisions + Particle mass = Higgs boson

Ash flow + Winds aloft = Micheal not stranded in Sofia
