  1. CSU ResearchCloud Proposal Scott Baily Director, ACNS

  2. Collaborative Proposal Research and Creative Artistry Infrastructure ISTeC Big Data Forum April, 2013

  3. Focus ISTeC Big Data Forum April, 2013

  4. CSU Research Cloud • Purpose is to enable the research community by addressing exponential storage needs • Easy, safe, and economical storage solution • Managed by central IT personnel • Leverages existing personnel and infrastructure • Consistent with campus standards • Data replication, plus RAID architecture • Based on inexpensive, locally developed storage appliances ISTeC Big Data Forum April, 2013

  5. Case for local cloud storage • CSU has no affordable, centralized storage options available to the research community • Inefficient, “random” campus solutions result • Alternative, Commercial Cloud Services • Require EULA (which no one reads, understands) • Raise questions about privacy, security • Imply slow transfer speeds • Not the best response for data mgmt. plans ISTeC Big Data Forum April, 2013

  6. Funding Request ISTeC Big Data Forum April, 2013

  7. Governance • Under the auspices of ISTeC Management and Allocations Committee (MAC) • Has been successful in managing the Cray • Membership is flexible, includes 5 colleges • Proposing an Ex Officio member from ACNS • Will take up to a year to develop policies, procedures, and best practices • Will produce an annual report to VPR ISTeC Big Data Forum April, 2013

  8. Management & Operations • ACNS has agreed to build and manage the infrastructure • Ease of use – data portability facilitated via access to the campus data network • Open and available to the entire research community ISTeC Big Data Forum April, 2013

  9. Sustainable Financial Model • Charge back model - $550/TB/year • Generates $44K/year once fully populated • Allows for incremental growth as required • Until governance is established, recommended researchers can use up to 3 TB each at no cost for first year • Only one year of funding requested ISTeC Big Data Forum April, 2013

  10. Questions and Discussions • Are most welcome • Help us to understand your needs and constraints • How can central IT best step up to meet your specific, unmet needs? • What do you think is a sustainable business model? • How can we best work with you to better facilitate the research needs of the camps? • Other?
