© 2013 HP development company L.P. UC2 - Main benefits from Contrail Security – Confidentiality and protection of whatever users’ data (contents, personal data, usage data) – Legal constraints on data storage (e.g. geographical location) Reliability – Content storage reliability (→ SLA) – VM reliability (→ SLA) Performance – Bandwidth availability (→ SLA) – System response time (→ SLA) Contrail Federation – Technology providers immediately enabled to sell their know-how directly to external operators (e.g. the Marketplace) without needing to invest on development of products accessible by end users – Content providers need trustable storage infrastructures to preserve their data (their business comes from the commercial value of their contents) 20 contrail-project.eu

© 2013 HP development company L.P. UC2 - Other Contrail benefits ConPaaS services – Marketplace deployment (elasticity + scalability) Structured/distributed storage + GAFS – Contents localization – Legal restrictions on stored contents SQL servers (High Level Services) – No need to set up new DBs. Map/Reduce services – Advanced usage data processing – Extraction of statistical information from log files – Search indexes building VIN / VCP – Advanced configuration of network topology 21 contrail-project.eu

© 2013 HP development company L.P. UC3 - High Performance Real-Time Scientific Data Analysis Analyses data from neutron scattering experiments on biological samples at the ISIS facility at STFC Runs a large number of model-fitting simulations to determine geometrical shapes of chemical samples Presents a figure of merit for each simulation marking its closeness to the experimental data Small Angle Neutron Scattering 22

© 2013 HP development company L.P. UC3 - Neutron source data Complex parameter space for modeling analysis of biological structures 1,000 to 100,000 simulations to determine the molecular structure of biological samples Currently, only the most experienced researchers know how to navigate the parameter space 23

© 2013 HP development company L.P. UC3 - Scientific data Experiments are expensive – Booked months in advance – Need to locate “interesting” parameters – Feed experiences back into model Manual search can take weeks – Large amount of time taken in trial-and-error – “Close enough” may result in only 10% of the experimental data being used – wasteful 24

© 2013 HP development company L.P. UC3 - Architecture SDA portal: – Simulations of target structures based on complex parameter exploration – Statistical analysis of generated data, allowing ranking on multiple aspects – Feedback to user as to whether more experimental data is required in order to fully categorize the sample 25

© 2013 HP development company L.P. UC3: System deployment ConPaaS Bag-of-Tasks service Function: Run a simulation task for each combination of parameters ConPaaS Map/Reduce service Function: Analyze the simulation results and provide a ranking compared to experimental data User defines parameters and experimental data Location of simulation results in GAFS is a parameter to Map/Reduce GAFS is used to store experimental data, simulation results, ranked data, and metadata (parameter settings, etc) 26

© 2013 HP development company L.P. UC3 - Main benefits from Contrail “Horizontal scaling” – Allocate additional VM instances as needed (not like Grid, previously used) – Estimate expected completion time Predicable turnaround time → productivity Performance – Grid technologies did not guaranteed system responsiveness Single-Sign On ConPaaS – Bag-of-Tasks – Web application – MapReduce GAFS for sharing data and simulation output Infrastructure reliability Security SLA Enforcement 27
