Focus for the second period
Taking into account the work achieved in the first period, the experience gained from the
initial flagship deployments and the need for a federated cloud system, we will focus on:Pursuing the full-scale flagship deploymentsAnalysing
the business modelsPreparing for the transition from the pilot phase to the production service

Initial flagships: CERN, EMBL
, CNR (+ESA, national space agencies)
Complete on-going deployments with the Blue Box implementationsTest hybrid cloud model linking Helix Nebula suppliers with EGI and GEANT using the CERN ATLAS/CMS flagship as a use-case (September 2013)Determine how the services being developed by EUDAT could be relevant for Helix Nebula (October 2013)
Expand Supersites to USA & Japan 4

3 selected from 15 candidates:European Center
for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)Weather Data Information Supersite (WDIS) with 100 years of weather dataUNESCO (Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission)Ocean and Coastal Information Supersite (OCIS)
Port d’Informació Científica (PIC), BarcelonaReduce costs and improve speed of delivery, increase
volume and accuracy for NeuroimagingForesee to deploy the new flagships in 2H 2013
Requirements are being entered into the online toolEngagements made by suppliers to support the deployments The deployment of these additional flagships, not foreseen in the DoW, will verify the cloud platform can satisfy requirements from a wider user-base and confirm the “added value” of Helix Nebula
New Flagships503/July/2013Helix Nebula review - Bob Jones - CERNSlide6
Changes foreseen compared to DoW
The preparation of the cloud platform and the deployment of the flagships will require more effort than foreseenExtend WP4 “Cloud Platform & Provisioning”
To ensure that the experience, learning and evidence generated by the work package can be transferred to the subsequent WPsFocus more effort in WP5 “Flagship deployment”To complete deployment of CERN, EMBL & ESA flagships with blue boxes
To deploy the additional PIC, ECMWF and UNESCO flagships6

Helix Nebula andnational structures
The initial Helix Nebula flagships address the needs of international research organizations with big-science goalsIn the second period we want to study how to work with national structures and funding agencies:
Identify potential commercial suppliers and research community users in the country for whom Helix Nebula would bring advantagesCompare the business models being developed in Helix Nebula with those used on a national basis
Understand how national engagement would impact the Helix Nebula governance modelHelix Nebula will be presented to the ECP steering group set-up by Neelie
Kroes during their meeting in Tallinn on 4th July.803/July/2013Helix Nebula review - Bob Jones - CERNSlide9
Helix Nebula and Europe 2020
The Horizon 2020 EU framework programme for research and innovation will build on 3 major pillars:Strengthening the EU’s position in science
Strengthening industrial Leadership in innovationTackling Societal Challenges
Helix Nebula’s vision and strategic goals
are fully aligned with Europe 2020 strategy903/July/2013Helix Nebula review - Bob Jones - CERNSlide10

Sustainability
Helix Nebula has stimulated the interest of many suppliers and public sector users
In order to be viable, Helix Nebula must provide added value to a significant number of paying usersIn 2nd period we will determine if the business models under study are capable of supporting the long-term sustainability
The document Helix Nebula the Science Cloud: A Catalyst for Change in Europe proposes a number of measures to move Europe from cloud‐active to cloud‐productive
We see Horizon 2020 as an opportunity to make this transition happen11Helix Nebula review - Bob Jones - CERNSlide12
A Catalyst for Change
Helix Nebula was conceived as a way of bringing coherence to a highly fragmented European IT services industry through the vision of a federated ‘science cloud’ integrated with publicly-funded scientific
e-Infrastructures
Turn vision of Helix Nebula into
reality: bring together a critical mass of supply-side and demand-sideThe proposed accelerators represent a consistent set of concrete actions that will have direct impact on the creation of a flourishing open cloud services market in Europe by facilitating supply and stimulating demandHorizon 2020 offers a window of opportunity for Europe to use public and private finance to fulfil the Helix Nebula vision of a transformative, innovative and collaborative cloud-based infrastructure for Europe and beyond

Accelerating Europe
Recommendations grouped into a series of acceleration themes:
Creating the necessary political framework to increase access to publicly funded scientific research
Federating multiple commercial cloud service suppliers into an open platformUsing data-intensive science to bolster the data-driven economy
Building the hybrid cloud: putting together public and private cloud servicesAdhering to open standards that encourage uptake of a federated cloudProviding network access to cloud servicesIntroduce a financial incentive model to encourage a rapid uptake of cloud services

Summary
Progress Towards Objectives in the First P
eriod1. A platform capable of development through PPP into a scalable science cloud;2. A flexible governance structure capable of growing alongside the infrastructure itself
;3. Representations of functional and non‐functional requirements including policies for trust, security
and privacy;4. Agreements regarding inter‐operability with other, existing, e‐infrastructures;5. Three flagships based at CERN, EMBL and ESA (represented by CNR), selected as ‘stretch’ targets highlighting extreme cases of the requirements of the ERA and space agencies;6. Sustainable business models adhering to and supporting European‐level policies;7. A roadmap and development plan for addressing issues on the road to 2020.
