Addressing privacy and security issues for data processing in the cloud

The lack of adequate dependability is increasingly becoming the primary barrier to the broad adoption of cloud computing, not only in the critical infrastructure domain but also in all domains in which the survival of a company depends on the reliability of the cloud. Hence, the cloud becomes itself a critical infrastructure for which we need to guarantee sufficient dependability such that we can justifiably place our trust in the hosted applications.

The alignment of Brazilian Bill no. 5276 with the European GDPR

Today, Europe and Brazil are experiencing a unique opportunity to work on an EU-Brazil harmonised data protection framework, with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), aligning data protection laws across the 28 Member States, which is a good example to apply in Brazil, where a new data protection (Bill no. 5276, hereinafter referred only as “Bill”) is currently under discussion.

Opportunities for HPC in the Cloud

High-Performance Computing (HPC) researchers found in Cloud Computing a viable alternative to execute their workloads instead, or expanded the capability, of a cluster or a supercomputer. Several applications were successful migrated to the Cloud, such as weather prediction numerical models, genomics, seismic simulation, among others. However, normally the applications are migrated to the Cloud "as is" without modifications that can take advantages of the cloud model.

The GigaPonto Project - Commodity computing based cloud infrastructure

The successful development of a cloud environment must provide high connectivity, information security compliance and fully compliant with Brazilian law. In this context, GigaCandanga is developing the GigaPonto Project, which proposes to provide inexpensive and reliable data center infrastructure using commodity computing and recycled intermodal containers.

European Open Science Cloud as an opportunity for intercontinental collaboration

The EC identified a need to create a baseline European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) for European researchers and their global scientific collaborators by integrating and consolidating e-infrastructure platforms, federating existing scientific clouds and research infrastructures, and supporting the development of cloud-based services. The two biggest existing federated pan-European e-Infrastructures, EGI Federation and EUDAT Collaborative Data Infrastructure, have joined forces with INDIGO-DataCloud to put together a proposal (EOSC-Hub) to the EC which focuses on creation and integration of a management system (the Hub) of the future European Open Science Cloud that delivers a catalogue of services, software and data from these infrastructures as well as other major research e-Infrastructures.

CloudTeams - A community growth and collaborative development tool for software teams and end-users

The CloudTeams collaboration platform (www.cloudteams.eu) bridges the gap between end-users and software developers and helps to follow a methodology for structured project development. It is not a solution for traditional software houses; it is a new way of thinking for agile software development.

Ustore – Innovating and reducing costs on cloud ready management solutions

Ustore have been developing and delivering such products to several clients in Brazil for about five years, leveraging private cloud infrastructures and allowing companies of all size to keep and maintain their sensitive data in the house. This position paper describes Ustore products and their evolution over the last year. These products may help on reducing costs with third party services is the long term, such as corporate e-mail or file storage.
