DESCRIPTION:Speakers: PRELZ\, Francesco (Sezione di Milano)\nThe outcome o
 f the first\, extremely basic application tests that were performed on the
  dual-stack testbed that was set up by the HEPix IPv6 group is reported. R
 unning sustained file transfers and deploying the File Transfer Service (F
 TS) over a mesh of 'gridftp' servers provided enough real-life issues for 
 a first reality check.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?con

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. MENDEZ LORENZO\, Patricia (CERN)\nBased on ITIL 
 best practices\, the support of the overall business continuity is ensured
  by managing and controlling the risks that could seriously affect the cor
 responding services.  The identification of the risks and the provision of
  measures to mitigate or eliminate the threats in the system will play an 
 important role in achieving the level of service required to ensure the bu
 siness continuity. \nThe CERN Service Management project is starting to pu
 t the basis towards a future risk management activity covering the service
 s of the IT and GS departments. A formal approach will be defined to analy
 ze the service assets\, the threats and the vulnerabilities and to establi
 sh countermeasures towards the increase of the services reliability.  \nTh
 is talk presents the ITIL principles of business continuity and risk manag
 ement and it describes several practical cases applied to some of the most
  important IT and GS services.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDispla

 source flexibility and availability. In this solution\, different services
  will be connected and scheduled over the IaaS layer using the same entry 
 point. Moreover\, a common approach to organizing the resources used by ea
 ch different service will be deployed to be able to correlate usage tracki
 ng\, auditing\, authorization\, etc... for various reasons such as securit
 y\, accounting and isolation. This presentation will give an overview\, th

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. MENDEZ LORENZO\, Patricia (CERN)\nThe CERN Servi
 ce Management project was born to fulfil the need of a global\, homogeneou
 s\, and efficient service organization for all services provided to the us
 ers. On February 2011 the project entered in operation including in a firs
 t step services of the IT and GS departments. The CERN Service Management 
 infrastructure is based on ITIL best practises and it includes a single Se
 rvice Desk\, a Service Portal providing access to the service catalogue an
 d a set of standard processes as the most significant elements of the proj
 ect. The tool that has been chosen to support the project and to give a si
 ngle entry point to both supporters and users is a commercial product: Ser
 vice-Now. The infrastructure provided by this tool has been adapted to acc
 ommodate the structures and needs of the laboratory. \nThis talk presents 
 the status of the project after one year of operation including the user
 ’s and supporter’s perspectives\, volume of work after the first year 
 of operation\, and the status and plans for the tool. Future developments 
 as the incoming Service Level Management procedures\, new processes and fa

 to be fully managed by the hosting site and this results in the requiremen

  user community. For example\, one use case includes certain applications 
 certified for running with non-Oracle databases (e.g. MySQL). Additional u
 se cases are based on the desire expressed by user groups in being able to
  easily deploy and maintain different DBMS systems for their internal appl
 ications development. DB On Demand will cover this need offering users an 
 easy way to create and manage their databases through a system that is ful
 ly integrated with different CERN technologies.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/c

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. SAPUNENKO\, Vladimir (INFN)\nIncreasing data vol
 umes and demand for access impose serious challenges\nfor data storage inf
 rastructures. Risk of data corruption increases over time\, increase of di
 sc size leads to an unacceptably long recovery time in usual RAID configur
 ations.\nRecently a new solution\, erasure coding\, has appeared in the Cl
 oud. It is based on a mathematical construction and involves dividing the 
 data into a large number of small segments which are then duplicated and s
 pread over multiple locations and in some cases multiple IaaS providers. E
 rasure coding in combination with RAIN (Redundant Array\nof Inexpensive No
 des) allows significantly reduce overhead ensuring data redundancy similar
  to RAID and possibility of recovery from storage nodes failures.\nSeveral
  solutions implementing erasure coding are already available on\nthe marke
 t.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=38&sessionId=

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: COWLES\, Bob (SLAC)\nOne of the first cyber incident
 s was caused by an insect (a moth\, in fact). Ever since then\, the lower 
 life forms have been trying to disrupt the virtual landscapes we construct
  for our users.  As our virtual environments have evolved to be more compl
 ex\, these other life forms have always evolved sufficiently to find new c
 racks in our defenses. As we continue down the current path we are reminde
 d of a quote attributed to Einstein\, "Insanity: doing the same thing over
  and over again and expecting different results." Of course\, he also said
 \, "Only two things are infinite\, the universe and human stupidity\, and 
 I'm not sure about the former."\n\nSo\, let's look at how we got here and 
 see if we can use that to guide what we should do in the future.\n\nhttp:/

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: TIMMERMAN\, Jens (U)\nEasyBuild is an open source bu
 ild framework written in Python that enables you to install software in a 
 repeatable and consistent way. \n\nEasyBuild was motivated by the need for
  a system that would allow us to build and install multiple versions of a 
 software package\, built with different tool-kits in an automated manner. 
 This whilst a huge number of software packages require us to divert from t
 he standard configure - make - make install.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/cont

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: BERNABEU\, Gerard (U)\nPIC is a scientific-technolog
 ical center providing High Throughput and Data Processing Services to vari
 ous scientific disciplines: High Energy Physics\, Astrophysics\, Cosmology
  and Life Sciences among others.\nTo fulfill these communities requirement
 s it needs to maintain a steep capacity growth while keeping high levels o
 f reliability. Thanks to technology improvements\, in the last years it ha
 s been possible to support this growth keeping the overall energy budget a
 bout constant. However\, power limit is getting close and\, as user commun
 ities and requirements just keep growing\, energy efficiency has become a 
 key metric to ensure the sustainability of the activity. Therefore\, power
  efficiency has become the metric for most purchasing decisions. The curre
 nt input power limitations are a 200KVA UPS line to our main computer room
  and 100KVA UPS line to an independent\, more energy efficient\, module (P
 UE 2.3 vs 1.55). While a significant improvement of the situation is on si
 ght\, as of today we have to hold out with the available power. That means
  that our resources are mostly channeled on “going green”: how to save
  as much energy as possible to keep our equipment running while still deli
 vering the required service.\nWith that in mind\, different techniques are
  being experimented: improvements on racks to enhance cooling\, by control
 ling air fluxes\; newer\, more efficient equipment that has a better perfo
 rmance unit per watt ratio\; and virtualization technologies that allow us
  to consolidate servers.\n\nIn this presentation a brief description of th
 e experiments running at PIC will be given. Furthermore\, the status of th
 e PIC site will be presented: computing resources\, storage resources\, da
 tacenter considerations and software considerations regarding the most res
 ource-consuming project\, LHC\, as well as other projects\, and will try t
 o give some insight on the trade offs found.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/cont

 th European industry in public-private partnerships to build a European Cl
 oud infrastructure capable of supporting the missions of these organizatio
 ns.  As well as addressing the purely technical aspects\, the collaboratio
 n will focus on issues of policy and privacy\, particularly in the area of
  data.  The goals of the work are to understand cost and service models\, 
 and to understand how the needs of the science organizations can be fulfil
 led by commercial compute and storage providers.  This talk will discuss t
 he complementary large scale flagship projects proposed by CERN\, ESA\, an
 d EMBL\, and how they will address the open questions that may eventually 
 enable science to make large scale use of such commercial facilities.\n\nh
