The Helix Nebula Initiative
The preferred model for public research organisations is a hybrid cloud that combines in-house resources with public e-infrastructures and commercial cloud services
5
The Helix Nebula initiative has brought together research organisations, data providers, publicly funded e-infrastructures and European commercial cloud service providers to develop a hybrid cloud model with procurement and governance approaches suitable for the dynamic cloud market
In-house
Procurement challenges
What if I get
locked in? Are there relevant
standards I should be
looking into?
What
happens to
my data?
How do I get
a good deal?
What happens to
my IT staff?
How can I compare
contracts & SLAs?
What is
PCP?
What are
the others
doing?
How can I allocate
costs?
What
services do
I need?
1. Cloud computing is disrupting the way IT resources are provisioned
2. In-house resources, publicly funded e-infrastructure and commercial cloud services are not integrated to provide a seamless environment
3. Current organisational and financial models are not appropriate
4. The new way of procuring cloud services is also a matter of skills and education
5. Legal impediments exist

NIH Cloud Credits Pilot: A Business Model to Support the Use of Cloud Computing for the Commons (2016-2018)
15
For this pilot, the initial iteration of the Commons will be tested using a federation of public and private computing clouds, with the choice of cloud provider being made by each individual investigator who can select the best value for her/his individual research needs
