In this talk we give an overview on the design principles and discuss selected use cases, which the infrastructure need to support. We will provide an overview on the envisage architecture and the strategies for addressing key architectural and technical challenges.
Propelled by the growing IT needs of the Large Hardon Collider, CERN is leading a H2020 Pre-Commercial Procurement activity that brings together a group of 10 of Europe’s leading research organisations to procure innovative IaaS level cloud services for a range scientific disciplines.[4] HNSciCloud is divided in 3 phases: Design, Prototype and Pilot. The successful designs were selected by the end of 2016. In 2017, the project entered the Prototype phase.
This talk will cover the current status of the prototypes and the next steps going into the Pilot phase.
