Do you have ideas for innovative cloud and service technologies?

Do you need infrastructure resources to prove them?

Do you need money to make it happen?

Need for common activities in service testbeds?

• Testbeds have roles throughout the service lifecycle

• Tests are broad with the trend towards *aaS

• Generally three classes of testbeds funded (commercial public, private, public/private)

• Need to promote connected as well as common activities

General challenges for sustainable testbeds

• Users/customers need control– what services they consume, how much is used,

and by whom

• Service providers need independence– maintain control of their own resources

• Accountability must be addressed at many levels (QoS, SLAs, usage and cost)– best effort not really good enough for anyone– centralised brokers have inherent difficulties

• Security must to be commercial standards– especially for near to market experiments

• Maintenance must be cost effective
