Software Managers requiring access to infrastructure to test out and validate their new products in the cloud, mobile, wireless, and wired network space will be interested to hear about the various testbeds and their unique capabilities. Come and hear about the opportunities: • Testing new software at scale • Open Access (= Free access) - up to hundreds of servers to conduct scaling experiments • Some funding available to support tests • Example software test process: o write script to deploy 50 servers o write script to simulate events from 1 million users. o deploy software under test o measure key performance indicators over 24 hour period o upgrade and reiterate

1. Helping SMEs connect to
the Future Internet
Presentation by Donal Morris
FUSION Webinar November 20th 14.00 GMT

2. Agenda
• Introduction to FIRE
• Some of the testbeds
• Case Study
• Questions
– Future Internet Testing needs & requirements

3. Future Internet
• What is the future Internet?
• Means lots of different things
– Sensors, smart cities, telemedicine, priority
traffic and quality, transport, eHealth,
entertainment, green………..

4. Future Internet Ecosystem

5. FIRE
• FIRE is:
• Future Internet Research & Experimentation
• A range of projects with testbeds and
experiments funded by the European
Commission

6. Current FIRE Projects

7. FIRE Testbed Facilities

8. SME Engagements
• The EU wishes to see more SMEs
involved in the projects
• Rich offer of experimental facilities
– (more then 100)
• Current main use by academic community

9. The value proposition is
• FIRE Testbeds available to help test and
validate new products/services
• Useful for testing and reducing risk for new
technology.
• Especially useful for scale testing.
• Testbeds available for free and some times with
EU funding
– Typically €25k to €75k for small experiments
– & >€1m for larger collaborative experiments

10. Agenda
• Introduction to FIRE
• Some of the testbeds
• Case Study
• Questions
– Future Internet Testing needs & requirements

11. Introduction to some FIRE Testbeds
• Fed4FIRE – Testbed Federation
• CREW – Cognitive Radio Testbed
• FLEX – 4G LTE Testbeds
• SUNRISE – Underwater IoT Testbed

12. Fed4FIRE

13. Fed4FIRE Federation

14. Fed4FIRE is available for use
• info: http://doc.fed4fire.eu
• Open access:
– Officially from end of this year
– Each testbed will offer the free execution of an
example experiment to learn to know the testbeds
– Per testbed open access policies will be set
– contact@fed4fire.eu if you want to know more
• Events (see above for more info, ‘events’):
– Open Tutorial day, Dec. 10, Berlin
– Two more open calls for SMEs in 2015

15. Fed4FIRE example case: easy scalability
testing via jFed toolkit
