Open call for new experiments and acloud provider

This open call: 600.000 total available EC funding

Two Topics;

A) Experiments (500K) in Scenarios 1-2-3 Funding per experiment: max 150K (about 3-4 experiments, round

100K typical)

Participants: 1 or 2 organizations/experiment max

Duration: maximum 12 months

B) Cloud provider (100K) 1 company offering infrastructure and becoming a BonFIRE Cloud site

(Proof of Concept)

Duration: 15 months

Start date in the project: September 2012Evaluation (FP7 rules): external evaluators and consensusmeeting

Note: Payment scheme: 30% advance payment. Q1 cost. Rest at the end.

What are we looking for?(Topic A - Experiments)

Testing Experiments to trial on the Cloud semi-consolidated softwaretechnologies or semi-mature resultsof R&D Internet of Servicescommunity.

Pre-comercial software or prototypes to be optimised, consolidated orstudy their behaviour on the cloud facility

Not pure eScience (Grid-like) applications looking only for capacity /storage but innovative multi-cloud usage scenarios on the facility.

Typically the experiment would need to be distributed, with VMs deployedacross at least 2 sites/admin domains (scenario 1&3).

Certain emphasis is given to scenario 3 (FI research that is very sensibleto network parameters (bandwidth reservation)

Justify the need of a multi-cloud facility (scenario 1&3) or sophisticatednetwork emulation (scenario 2) in your experiment.

Combination of scenarios in an experiment proposal is possible (pahsesin an increase of realism). Explain the approach in detail.


12/20

BonFIRE12 12

What are we looking for?(Topic B Cloud provider)

Company with proven commercial experience in Cloud serviceprovision (with its own IaaS off-the-shelf solutions portfolio) andreference clients

Cloud provider offering access to its own infrastructure becomingBonFIRE site (IaaS). Dedicated computing environment whereexperiments can be deployed.

Access via OCCI-based API and web-based interfaces (explainapproach)

Mnimum requested capacity from 8 to 16 nodes x 4 cores (3GHz) 8GB RAM and 2-3 Tb SAN (Note: the purchase of hardware is notcovered by the project not elegible costs)

Organization willing to install and test the BonFIRE stack (broker andportal) in their environment and report the experience

Contribute with feedback on sustainability and exploitation tasks


13/20

BonFIRE13 13

Open call for new experiments

What we offer: BonFIRE features:

Controlled deployment on multi-site clouds (scenario 1,2,3)

Monitoring of standard metrics at VM or physical level Monitoring of user specified metrics (application level) at

VM level

Controlled/advanced emulated network (emulab) (forscenario 2) VirtualWorld

Controlled deployment with network bandwidth guarantee

between 2 cloud sites (scenario 3)

Access to heterogeneous resources.

Open call: structure of experiments

To smooth integrate the experiments into the project:

Basic task list set

Common deliverable list Participation in project reporting by partner and Workpackage

Interactions with cross activities: experiment support

(more on the applicant guide & proposal template)

Open call experiment structure: tasks

Task 1 Motivation and Design

Task 2 - Experimental set up Task 3 Execution and subsequent iteration

Task 3 Execution and subsequent iteration

Task 4 - Experimental write up

Task 5 Dissemination and Case studies

FIRE open calls info day

Gantt diagram can be adapted to specifities of each call (explain this) Synchronised timescale (approx) Control Points (asociated milestones or deliverables) Other structure is possible but must be well justified.

IPR issues

BonFIRE Project interest in the open call experiments is theuse and improvement of the BonFIRE facility and not the(protected) content per se.

The new cloud site is treated separately in terms of IPR.Access API (TBD depending on development contributionsand starting point). No ownership rights over Broker (access &use)

Experiments are considered sub-projects. Access rights withinthe sub-project are reserved to sub-project members.

In general terms, sub-project partners are not granted accessto the foreground or background of the other Parties and the

other Parties are not granted access to the foreground orbackground of the sub-project members. (CA available on-demand)

All experiments have to provide a publishable report of their

experiment / case study.
