Motivation<\/h2>\n

Besides the work in national projects where we engage with and transfer our knowledge to local SMEs, a major focus always lay on international or more precisely european projects where we\u2019re currently involved in a number of FP7 Future Internet projects. Our goal is to push the progress of this so called Future Internet (FI) even further by providing a platform for\/to ourselves and our communities where newly developed FI services can be offered to third parties as well as the general public. To this end, we are building ZuFi – the Zurich Future Internet node.<\/p>\n

Infrastructure<\/h2>\n

At the moment the ICCLab has set up cloud-infrastructures at two locations, one at ZHAW in Winterthur and one at the Equinix<\/a> data centre in Zurich (big shout out to Equinix for providing the space and power for this!). Both of them currently run OpenStack Grizzly. The setup in Zurich emerged out of our strategic partnership with Equinix and enables further research in areas like cloud federation or cloud interoperability. It\u2019s resources will be exclusively available for XIFI.<\/p>\n

ZuFi – Winterthur<\/h3>\n

The following hardware is available in the Winterthur node.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Future Plans<\/h2>\n

For the future it is planned to extend the current installation with several generic enablers (GEs) and with that offer the future internet services that were developed in the FI-WARE project to our academic community as well as the general public. Part of that will also be the integration with local FI as well as smart cities activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
