Revision as of 12:46, 18 December 2013
This page is dedicated to the EGI Pay-for-Use Proof of Concept and Activities.
Overview
Motivation
Sustainability has been an issue explored by EGI in various ways over the last couple years. There are also messages from the European Commission that keeping the status quo is not an option for e-Infrastructures and EGI should therefore explore options around a more market driven e-Infrastructure for supporting the ERA. However, EGI operates within a publicly funded research and academic environment providing services free at point of delivery with resources bought from grants dedicated to certain groups or disciplines either by direct allocation or by peer review. With the advent of cloud computing, business models and user expectations are shifting towards on-demand and pay-per-use service provision increasing flexibility and agility. This new paradigm provides another motivation for EGI to explore new service definitions by enabling the possibility to provide ICT services that can be paid for the use, along with the more traditional procurement of resources to be managed and offered for free to the owners.
Mandate
In early 2013, the EGI Council approved a policy to explore business models for pay-for-use service delivery to couple together with the traditional method of free-at-point-of-use. The goal of this activity is to support the implementation of this policy in collaboration with NGIs through the definition and execution of proof of concepts. The mandate of the group is to create a proof of concept pay-for-use prototype.
Objectives
The objectives are the group are to:
- Articulate appropriate business and responsibility models
- Define prices for services from the participating sites
- Define agreements and service management processes and procedures
- Introduce a billing function
- Analyse the changes needed to support services and roll out the new functionalities in the production environment
- Evaluate legal, policy, and organisational issues around the full implementation of the pay-for-use model
- Submit a report covering the overall activities and final output as part of the final EGI-InSPIRE periodic report.
This activity will be closely linked to TNA5.1 Strategy, Policy and Business Development; SA5.2: Federated Cloud and JRA2.2 Accounting.
