ESA will launch 3 Sentinel
satellites in 2014 and
2015 which will generate
more than 3 PB data p.a.
The climate model
intercomparison
project of the IPCC
generated 2.3 PB in 2012 –
60 times more than in 2004

Helix Nebula – The Science Cloud
Vision and Key Objectives
Vision




In 2020, all scientists of all disciplines will choose
the Helix Nebula Infrastructure as their first option
to store, access, process & analyse data
It will contain vast quantities of data, open source
tools, and a literally infinite amount of computing
power accessible and usable from any kind of
computer, smart phone or tablet device.
Science will make significant progresses by
applying data sharing and interdisciplinary
research using this infrastructure as the
fundamental tool.
This infrastructure will have such a reliability and
worldwide recognition for its implemented security
and privacy scheme that also commercial
companies will be using this "high security area" to
derive patents.
Objectives







A platform capable of development through PPP
into a scalable science cloud
A flexible governance structure capable of growing
alongside the infrastructure itself
Representations of functional and non‐functional
requirements including policies for trust, security
and privacy
Agreements regarding inter‐operability with other,
existing e‐infrastructures
Three flagships based at CERN, EMBL and ESA,
selected as ‘stretch’ targets highlighting extreme
cases of the requirements of the ERA
Sustainable business models adhering to and
supporting European‐level policies
A roadmap and development plan for addressing
issues on the road to 2020
