INTRODUCTION TO XIFI

The XIFI Project, its role in the FI-PPP and its objectives

What is XIFI?

• XIFI platform is the community cloud for European FI-PPP developers enabled by advanced FI infrastructures in Europe

• XIFI, as part of the overall vision of FI-PPP and following the principle “eat your own dog food”, is based on FI-PPP technologies delivered by FI-WARE

XIFI and FI-PPP Programme

5

XIFI (1 Apr2013 – 30 Mar 2015)

XIFI objectives

• To support advanced experiments on the FI-PPP Core Platform

• Deploy the Generic Enablers of the Core Platform on a federation of infrastructure nodes

• Support FI-PPP Use Cases to deploy their applications in the large scale

• Support a multiplicity of heterogeneous environments

• Leverage existing public investments in advanced infrastructures

• Foster collaboration between the FI-PPP Programme and other existing initiatives (EIT ICT Labs, FIRE…)

6

XIFI objectives

• Adding value to EU initiatives: linking test domains

7

FIRE

2nd Phase Early Trials

XIFI to achieve its objectives will:

• Develop a process for providing test infrastructures with the necessary adaptation and upgrade to support the FI-PPP Enablers from FI-WARE

• Start with 5 core sites and federate additional test infrastructures to support the usage requirements stemming from the FI-PPP Phase 2 pilot trials

• Validate the capabilities of the test infrastructures to support the FI-PPP Enablers from FI-WARE

• Build up the test infrastructure capacity and capability to support the massive increase in FI-PPP application/service developers in Phase 3

8

XIFI approach

Stakeholders

Infrastructures owners and operators• They will integrate and offer their facilities for experimentation within the FI-PPP• They will allow the FI-PPP to make more ambitious large-scale deployments in the

areas addressed by the Use Case projects and beyond• They will join the XIFI federation thanks to the open call

Future Internet developers and experimenters• They will use and experiment the available FI-PPP technology and facilities by

implementing various interesting applications and using XIFI federated infrastructures for their test experiments.

• They will have access the GEs and SEs deployed at different infrastructures in a transparent way

• They will be able to create projects/experiments encompassing more than one single infrastructure in a transparent way

Other users (Public authorities, SMEs, end-users such as associations, citizens)

• Public authorities will be engaged in order to support experimentation and to promote public and private investment in infrastructures and federating infrastructures

• European entrepreneurs, SMEs, developers and application providers, students, researchers, will be able to test what is being developed within their own domains

What are the challenges ahead

How to go from experimentation to large scale trials?

• Exploitation toward European Cities and Regions

• 800 Web Developers expected to use XIFI capacities

Synergies and cooperation between EU and US in the next period

• Cross analysis of best practise among respective sites (Field Trials, European and US Cities and Regions, Communities of Developers)

TECHNICAL INSIGHTS

From the vision to the implementation

The XIFI offer

XIFI is the market place to access FI-PPP technologies and Future Internet

infrastructure offer for large trials developers in Europe

• The two fundamental elements of XIFI offer are:– XIFI will provide Generic Enablers developed in FI-

WARE through high-available and reliable "federation" of infrastructures.

– XIFI, to support the provisioning of GEs, will leverage on FI infrastructures with different specificity (e.g. in term of location, user community, quality of service, 'special' hardware).
