1. Hybrid Cloud Experiments with GENI for Multi-site Opt-in Use Cases Prasad Calyam (PI) Collaborators: Ray Leto (TotalSim), Rob Kopp (Metro Data Center) GEC18 Talk in Session on Shakedown Experiments, October 2013

2. City-supported Hybrid Computing Infrastructure Smart Cities have the potential to provide computing and broadband “utility” services that have a transformative economic impact 2

3. Project Purpose We want to transform how professionals and students can make and learn-about advanced manufacturing components through a "simulation-as-a-service" app based on cloud resource and software/platform access rentals in US Ignite cities… Credit: TotalSim 3

4. Advanced manufacturing design today requires iterative and collaborative work among multi-site engineering experts… Collect requirements Reverse engineer physical component (e.g., scans) Build CAD model for virtual component(s) Model Collaborate with customer via conferences Ship VMs back-and-forth Iterate and improve component (i.e., Parameters, Geometry) Simulate Apps for vertical E.g., PipeFlow, CarPredictor, EduApp Manufacture physical improvements Delivery New Component 4

5. Life of a small-business… (in advanced manufacturing) Today: Local/home- grown Screen capture/Email –Asynchronous collaboration, physical Win7 PC access required Lots of data copies –Mail DVDs, SCP Slow data transfer –Public Internet Local cluster procurement –Time consuming, overprovision Future : Cloud/apps/GENI WebEx on virtual desktop Synchronous collaboration, Cross- platform/device operation Cloud storage OSC storage, Box.net Data security and control Fast data transfer Extended VLANs over Dublink, OARnet, GENI Elastic compute access Can handle demand bursts Traditional development lifecycle: several delays for delivery, increased cost, and overhead for productivity Agile development lifecycle: quicker delivery, reduced cost and increased productivity 5

6. SMaaS App in GENI Infrastructure 6 GENI experiments in this project will include multi-site opt-in users and studies on user productivity, performance and experiences using SMaaS apps

7. Activities Planned and Challenges Setup Hybrid Cloud testbed with GENI Rack connected over the City of Dublin network to the GENI infrastructure –Last-mile infrastructure build-out to TotalSim –High-bandwidth connectivity –Long-running service Demonstration of a simple simulation-as-a-service app –Intellectual Property issues –VMware Horizon Broker hosting within GENI Rack Plan for recruiting opt-in users for the hybrid-cloud services –IRB protocol for opt-in user recruitment and usability studies Report on experiences implementing simple app services –Suggestions for improving GENI tools and services –Publish conference/journal papers 7
