The document discusses the potential of heterogeneous cloud computing environments for enhancing Romanian e-government, R&D, and e-business through supercomputing infrastructure development. It presents several case studies that highlight the financial metrics and growth potential of different supercomputing systems, illustrating their effectiveness in optimizing costs and resource management. Additionally, it outlines the support available for SMEs and the promotion of high-performance computing within the Romanian business context.

1. Supercomputing: the next logical step in Romanian e-government, R&D and e-business ICT infrastructure development

2. Why heterogeneous cloud computing environments ?

3. Why heterogeneous cloud computing environments? Infinitely Scalable Can provide one or more infrastructure for similar or totally different applications or services thus clouds can be used for every purpose from disaster recovery/business continuity through to a fully outsourced ICT service for an organization

4. Why heterogeneous cloud computing environments? Cost effectiveness Finer control of expenditure, avoids costly asset acquisition and maintenance reducing the entry threshold barrier

8. Case study: Migration from classic cluster oriented infrastructures to supercomputing

9. Case study: Migration from classic cluster oriented infrastructures to supercomputing Supercomputer infrastructure datasheet: Investment value: 2,750,000 EUR Used resources: 61% Used infrastructure value current: 1,700,000 EUR - 5 years: 2,325,000 EUR Unused and AVAILABLE infrastructure value: - current: 1,050,000 EUR - 5 years: 425,000 EUR

10. Supercomputing and Romanian business environment E-Economy and E-Business Simulation and forecasting of economic and financial public policy Financial model simulation for banking industry Complex project Cost/benefit analysis for various areas (agriculture, industry, etc)

11. Supercomputing and Romanian business environment Business and supercomputing Support for virtualized infrastructures Promotion of high performance computing research Financing support for SME with Priority Axis 3 of POS CCE - projects 50,000-500,000 eur - 50% financing - areas like ERP, CRM, e-Commerce (supercomputing consumers)
