1 SynfiniWay Shaping HPC clouds for industry

2 What the Cloud means to Fujitsu

3 What the Cloud means to Fujitsu Enterprise Extended Enterprise Collaborative Cloud Enabling HPC clouds with SynfiniWay

4 HPC Cloud Issues Access and Use Achieving cost-effective cloud performance Dynamic, adaptive, transparent scalability Optimised common data delivery, synchronisation, ultra-fast data transfer Intuitive use Automatic service discovery, monitoring and auditing Persistent and recoverable Leverage for collaboration Virtual organisations Extended enterprise

5 Clouds for Industry Data concerns Data security and control at the top of users list of cloud issues Security services rank 5.41 out of 6 in importance from a recent Fujitsu survey HPC cloud applications generate particular data handling needs Motion flow, replication Transformation conversion, QoS Compliance cleanup, traceability

6 Complexity HPC Cloud adoption barriers Process complexity Achieving scalable industrial HPC cloud operations means addressing the complexity caused by two interlinked effects Organisational complexity

7 Complexity HPC Cloud adoption barriers Process complexity Process sophistication Data motion Multi-organisation IP Focus on: 1.Process optimisation 2.Data handling 3.Enhanced security Solution scalability Data security Service agility Organisational complexity

8 HPC Cloud SynfiniWay highlights Enterprise

9 HPC Cloud SynfiniWay highlights Extended Enterprise

10 HPC Cloud SynfiniWay highlights Collaborative Cloud

11 HPC Cloud SynfiniWay highlights Business process enabled as a scalable adaptable workflow Efficient and resilient data motion based on a global process schedule Resource abstraction, dynamic discovery with full RBAC security Coherent and integrated cloud usage model

12 Workflow automation HPC Services Encode and automate practically any business process complex conditionals, iterative Workflow of sub-flows for re-use of tried and tested best practice templates and IP protection Scale workflows across any IT infrastructure Fine-grained control over authorisation based on role Implicit data transfer management, supporting large files and traceability

13 Workflow automation HPC Services Consolidated view of HPC services Dynamic update User-specific case profiles

14 SynfiniWay service architecture SSO entry point into SynfiniWay framework Same view of resources from any location

15 Data motion Site A No staging end-to-end transfer Remote-remote no line of sight needed SynfiniWay Service pool Site C Site B Data movement coupled to job workflow

16 Data motion Data movement implicitly directed by the job workflow files, variables Delivered before task submitted to optimise resource efficiency no wait Transformations applied during transfer compress, integrity check, convert,... Data replication to multiple locations Cleanup after task completed QoS from retry, resume

17 Securing the cloud with RBAC RBAC = Role-Based Access Control With RBAC, security or access control is managed in a way that mimics an organization's structure Role is a set of one or more permissions (eg: project leader, method editor, analyst,..etc) Permission is an action that can be applied to a resource (and SynfiniWay object) In SynfiniWay roles are applied to identities (cf. users, groups), An identity can contain other identities thus groups of groups are supported SynfiniWay implements a hierarchical form of RBAC Senior roles acquire permissions of their junior and juniors acquire users of their seniors role inheritance

18 Securing the cloud with RBAC Assigning permissions in the RBAC system can be done by different members of a distributed environment Most RBACs are for single servers SynfiniWay implements RBAC on a grid of resources SynfiniWay extends the standard RBAC model by enabling permissions for dynamic objects (such as workflow instances and data transfers) SynfiniWay implements a resource group which factorizes the way permissions are assigned to a set of resources

19 RBAC advantages Flexible management central or distributed Easier human understanding of the security policy and implementation Simple to add new resources to a resource group for faster user access big reduction in management overhead, access control is simpler to understand and manage Global identity Project leader SynfiniWay Service pool Engineer RBAC domain Designer Flexible authentication (CRAM, LDAP, AD, SiteMinder ) Supplier Coarse and fine-grain authorisation Copyright 2010 FUJITSU SYSTEMS EUROPE

20 SynfiniWay Features Creating a user environment for improved work organisation, optimised processes, higher security and increased productivity Abstracting, sharing and optimising a global and dynamic infrastructure within and between organisations and service providers

21 Shaping HPC Clouds for Industry SynfiniWay overcomes complexity barriers with a consistent and secure solution for use and operation at any scale Enables industry to safely and flexibly incorporate cloud within the Applications and Activity of their mainstream business processes Process complexity Global Enterprise Trusted Cloud Extended Enterprise Enterprise Workgroup Organisational complexity
