4. INFINITY Objectives
• To facilitate communication and collaboration
between infrastructure owners across Europe
and organisations developing Future Internet
applications in order to:
 Position Europe at the centre of the future of the
Internet
 Directly support experimentation for FI-PPP projects
and investors
 Accelerate the development and uptake of social
and commercial solutions that will provide benefit to
the citizens, businesses and governments of Europe

5. INFINITY Achievements
•
Identified and contacted about 500 infrastructures across Europe
and beyond
•
Encouraged and support interaction, and collaboration between
infrastructure owners and application developers (primarily Use
Case developers)
•
Developed and launched the “live” web-based repository „XiPi‟.
Organised and evaluated information from over 230 Future Internet
infrastructures/ test beds
•
A new taxonomy for Future Internet Infrastructures: The INFINITY
Common Description Framework (CDF), a solid tool to profile
infrastructures
•
In progress: creation of a FI infrastructures Roadmap from the
analysis of the infrastructure data gathered

9. XIFI Objectives
•
Define the reference architecture and settle the implementation of
a sustainable federation of Future Internet-enabled infrastructures:
XIFI Cloud Community
•
Offer to FI-PPP Use Cases and external developers an initial
infrastructure capacity compliant to the Future Internet core
platform (FI-WARE)
•
Integrate, adapt and upgrade existing infrastructures to ensure
their compliancy with the FI-PPP programme requirements
•
Support infrastructure owners and application developers by
providing them with documentation and training to join and use
the federation
•
Showcase the benefits of federated capacity to FI-PPP
stakeholders through a set of scenarios

• The initial XIFI Cloud
Community is based on
5 European nodes
 It will be expanded to
cover 17 nodes
between April 2014 and
April 2015

11. XIFI Added Value
•
The XIFI Federation targets SMEs and start-ups by providing an
Open Innovation Marketplace
 Single entry point to meet resource owners and developers
 Browse, compare and access the FI-PPP technological offer
available across different multi-region infrastructures
 Easy access to management and monitoring of the FI-PPP
services
 Offers a level of scalability and flexibility which currently
cannot be achieved by any other similar EC initiative

12. Technology
•
FI-WARE is a core platform that eases the creation of
innovative applications by lowering the costs and
complexity of serving large numbers of users globally and
handling data at a large scale
 XIFI provides extensions to existing FI-WARE GEs to
support Federation of Clouds and Infrastructures
 Check http://www.fi-ware.eu/
•
FI-LAB is live instance of FI-WARE available to
developers for free experimentation with the technology
 XIFI provides the Community Cloud that extends it
and operational support
 Check http://lab.fi-ware.eu/
•
FI-Ops is a collection of tools that ease the deployment,
setup, and operation of FI-WARE instances by Platform
Providers
