Overall Objectives The Helix Nebula project is a preliminary step towards a European cloud- based scientific e-infrastructure 1. 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

Management Structure Weekly management team teleconferences chaired by CERN (41 in period 1): Attended by 3 suppliers + 3 demand side representatives + 1 invited Collaboration Board Meetings chaired by EMBL: 06 July 2012, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland 18 January 2013, ESRIN, Frascati, Italy Signed on Published on Amended on Signed by all parties in November 2012

Management Tasks The pre-financing was distributed in two installments to avoid overspending of funds without achievement of tasks Successful launch of a dry-run of the financial reporting process covering the first 7 months of the project in order to: identify any missing information and issues that could arise Monitor the resource consumption during the first half of the period Review of progress and plans at the General Assemblies The open repository for all Helix Nebula documents on the CERN Document System (CDS) The contents of the communication tools (website Facebook, Twitter) approved by Mgmt Team. Website hosted by CloudSigma (at no cost to project) The AlfrescoShare Entreprise collaboration tool to share documents within the inititiative/project provided by EMBL (at no cost to project) The 21 lists (hosted EGI.eu and CERN at no cost to project) 15

Financial Status 20

Resources and Funding The Helix Nebula pilot phase rests on financial support from: Co-funding by the EC Significant contribution from members of the overall initiative that are not beneficiaries of the project: ESA and CNES (220 k – 1.7 FTE for 9 months) SMEs: SixSquare, Terradue, TheServerLabs involved in TechArch and ServArch Dante & NRENs: Effort to connect supplier data centres to GEANT Users’ contribution (First year flagship deployments) to: The cost of the resources consumed (flat-rate of 420 K) Manpower (3.7 FTE for 39 Months) Second Year flagship deployments: Costs according to the price models provided by the suppliers EC funding focused on: Coordinating beneficiaries’ efforts and animating the whole initiative Communication and Outreach

Provisional Financial Status Based on Beneficiaries’ Cost Claims for Period 1 Total Costs: 1,038,934 EUR 63 % of total budgeted costs Total Requested Contribution: 801,548 EUR 74% of budgeted requested contribution Direct personnel costs are 72 % of total costs Remaining costs are travel, other costs and overheads 22

All beneficiaries contributing to project - WP2 cost will be consumed in P2 - Work of a trainee not charged to the EC project Task of defining the cloud platform and provisioning required more work than originally foreseen. Has required more highly-skilled and experienced staff than we expected
