How the right combination of standards, amendments and proprietary interfaces
was key to our success

RationaleGrowth of Providers
• High Throughput Platform– Academic resource providers
• Federated Cloud Platform– Diversity of resource providers
Tens of 1000’s MillionsFew related use cases
Single application modelMany diverse use cases & application models
Growth of Research Communities

User Model
• We offer our users:• Total control over deployed applications • Elastic resource consumption based on real needs • Workloads processed on-demand• Endorsed and accredited applications available from
multiple different communities shared• Single sign-on at multiple, independent providers • Centralised access to service information across
multiple providers

Principles of Federation
• Standards and validation: Recommended and common open standards for the interfaces and images – OCCI, CDMI, OVF, GLUE2, AAI
• Resource integration: Cloud Computing to be integrated into the existing production infrastructure.
• Heterogeneous implementation: no mandate on the cloud technology.
• Provider agnosticism: the only condition to federate resources is to expose the chosen interfaces and services.
