18. Hosted, managed, distributed facility to: Manage & archive your medium and large datasets Provide computational resources to analyze it Provide networking to share it with your colleagues and the public.
22. Work on something that matters to you more than money [and, presumably, papers]. Create more value than you capture. Take the long view. Work on Stuff That MattersTim O’Reilly, Jan 11, 2009

28. Persistent data Large data clouds Med databases HPC Small Cycles Large & spec. clusters Small to medium clusters Single workstations
29. Who do you most trust to manage your data for 100 years? Companies may not be here tomorrow. Government agencies have a role, but not always easy to use. Think of a not for profit with that mission.
31. Condominium Clouds In a condominium cloud, you buy your own rack or bunch of racks. The racks are managed and operated by the condominium association, in this case the OCC. If your rack is 120 TB, you get the rights to c. 40 TB of storage in the cloud. The rest is a shared resource. The Open Cloud Testbed is a condo cloud managed by the OCC. 28
34. Operating Model Operating model requires constant cap ex investment each year, for example 10 racks or $1M. (Cap in PB)

37. But No Vendor Neutral VN Standard That That scales to 100,000+ VMs Supported by multiple vendors Spans multiple physical switches Supports VN Mobility Provides strong isolation of VN Is easy for VMs to join and leave VNs Includes management interfaces …. OCC has a working group working on VN standards
45. One Day We Hope to Peer Open Science Data Cloud
46. More Challenges: Finding a Business Model That Works Long Term Challenge: raising constant amount of funding each year. To date: talking to foundations.
