Periodic Reporting for period 1 - Wotan (One orchestrator for all kinds of clouds)

Berichtszeitraum: 2018-12-01 bis 2019-03-31

Zusammenfassung vom Kontext und den Gesamtzielen des Projekts

Cloud computing is the enabling technology to offer flexibility, scalability and agility that business requires. Since there is not one-fits-all cloud approach, more and more companies demand the combination of multiple clouds to meet their needs. For that reason, technologies and techniques to manage resources and services will play a central role in the development of Hybrid clouds and Multicloud. To this respect “Cloud Orchestration” becomes a central role in the present ecosystem of cloud architectures of different nature.
The objetives of the present project to make WOTAN a global Cloud Orchestration leader are:
• Define the product requirements
• Define a working plan
• Select adecuated technologies
• Define a commercial plan and identify regulatory requirements
• Build a business plan

Arbeit, die ab Beginn des Projekts bis zum Ende des durch den Bericht erfassten Berichtszeitraums geleistet wurde, und die wichtigsten bis dahin erzielten Ergebnisse

Technological Conclusions
• We have divided the vDC in different elements to make it more manageable
• We have built a prototype that demonstrate that the mechanism to automatically move a virtual machine inside an Openstack based cloud is adequate.
• We have defined about 100 security-oriented actions, that are grouped around 7 areas.
Commercial conclusions
• We have simplified our model to tackle the market to two products: public cloud and private cloud.
• We have redefined the priority countries to face enter into the market
Financial conclusions
• WOTAN is viable under the assumptions we believe acceptable and will generate value for shareholders

Fortschritte, die über den aktuellen Stand der Technik hinausgehen und voraussichtliche potenzielle Auswirkungen (einschließlich der bis dato erzielten sozioökonomischen Auswirkungen und weiter gefassten gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen des Projekts)

WOTAN is now a product that is beyond the state of the are in several aspects. Our main strengths are:
• WOTAN offers the highest level of automation
• WOTAN reduces the cost of operation: end-user requires less support cost and resellers can operate more users with the same effort
• WOTAN allows the implementation of a varied portfolio of resources provision policies:
• WOTAN allows the deployment of virtual private clouds
These features will have the potential of disrupt the Cloud Orchetration market contributing to important efficiency improvements in companies.
