2. Sustainability to keep up or keep going, as an action or process. (Webster) is the capacity to endure. (Wikipedia) Jurry de la Mar, T-Systems

3. Business Sustainability Business Sustainability is often defined as managing the triple bottom line - a process by which companies manage their financial, social and environmental risks, obligations and opportunities. These three impacts are sometimes referred to as profits, people and planet. Financial Times lexicon: http://lexicon.ft.com/Term?term=business-sustainability Jurry de la Mar, T-Systems

6. Where does business sustainability come from? a Super Site? • Data sharing (alldata space & in-situ) accessible at no cost through a one-stop-shop e-infrastructure (containing also tools and peers). • Cross-domain: Supersites will lead to a new, more versatile generation of scientists that capitalize on information from multiple techniques. • New business models: pay-as-you-use and costs (partially) covered by income when public and private resources are available in a federation. • Supporting and participating to the value adding process • Creation of an ecosystem building on diversity and risk sharing • Creation of Pan-European Partnership “Helix Nebula – The Science Cloud” Knowledge

7. A European cloud computing partnership: big science teams up with big business • Strategic Plan • Establish multi-tenant, multi-provider cloud infrastructure • Identify and adopt policies for trust, security and privacy • Create governance structure • Define funding schemes To support the computing capacity needs for the ATLAS experiment • Setting up a new service to simplify analysis of large genomes, for a deeper insight into evolution and biodiversity • To create an Earth Observation platform, focusing on earthquake and volcano research Adopters www.helix-nebula.eu

8. Partnership – Why? The scale and complexity of services needed to satisfy Europe’s IT-intense scientific research & space organisations are beyond what can be provided by any single company and will require the collaboration of a variety of service providers and SMEs By partnering with Science and Space Organizations, it will cover most of the needs of a public Cloud infrastructure, while maintaining EU standards Jurry de la Mar, T-Systems

9. Partnership – Who & How? IT Providers -commit resources -share investments -agree on standard -interoperability Scientific and Space Organizations -commit resources -access to data & user communities Partnership has grown from 20 to 34 members in 2012 ! NDA SME’s -commit resources -link between Users and Providers - Act as catalyser EC supports with -Policy & Strategy -through targeted calls under FP7 EC Projects -Standard/Open source -Contributing / using HN Jurry de la Mar, T-Systems

10. Long Term Goal An ecosystem to transform data into valuable information To create a multi-tenant ‘Open Market Placefor Science’, where data, scientists, funding bodies, SMEs and downstream industry are meeting to work towards common interests, ensuring quality and EU privacy standards.

11. Contributors to the Ecosystem “Shared Risks - Shared Rewards” Jurry de la Mar, T-Systems

12. Expected Benefits Breakthroughs in Science thanks to cross-domain fertilization (data, tools, funding, capacity, peers) Building scaleto handle elasticity Risk sharing between partners Compliance with EC rules and policy(privacy, security, ethics) Business opportunities for SMEs Jurry de la Mar, T-Systems

13. Timeline • Endorse the Common Strategy • Agree on the Partnership • Select flagships use cases • Define governance model • Pilot Phase • Deployflagships, • Analysis of functionality,performance & financialmodel Towards an open, sustainable market for Science Jurry de la Mar, T-Systems

14. New Flagships (2013) • 3 selected from 15 proposals: • European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) • Weather Data Information Supersite (WDIS)with 100 years of weather data • UNESCO (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission) • Ocean and Coastal Information Supersite (OCIS) • Port d’InformacióCientífica (PIC), Barcelona • Neuroimaging Supersite Jurry de la Mar, T-Systems
