8. Project objectives
• Define the reference architecture and settle the implementation of
a sustainable federation of Future Internet-enabled infrastructures:
XIFI Cloud Community.
• Offer to FI-PPP Use Cases and external developers an initial
infrastructure capacity compliant to the Future Internet core
platform (FI-WARE).
• Integrate, adapt and upgrade existing infrastructures to ensure
their compliancy with the FI-PPP programme requirements.
• Support infrastructure owners and application developers by
providing them with documentation and training to join and use
the federation.
• Showcase the benefits of federated capacity to FI-PPP
stakeholders through a set of scenarios.

9. Stakeholders
Infrastructures owners and operators
• Integrate and offer their facilities for experimentation within the FI-PPP;
• Allow the FI-PPP to make more ambitious large-scale deployments in the areas
addressed by the Use Case projects and beyond;
• Join the XIFI federation through open calls.
Future Internet developers and experimenters
• Use and experiment the available FI-PPP technology and facilities by implementing
various interesting applications and using XIFI federated infrastructures for their test
experiments.
• Will access the GEs and SEs deployed at different infrastructures in a transparent
way.
• Create projects/experiments encompassing more than one single infrastructure in a
transparent way
Other users (Public authorities, SMEs, end-users such as associations,
citizens)
• Public authorities will be engaged in order to support experimentation and to promote
public and private investment in infrastructures and federating infrastructures
• European entrepreneurs, SMEs, developers and application providers, students,
researchers, will be able to test what is being developed within their own domains.

14. Infrastructure capacities
• XIFI implements a federation of Future Internet enabled
infrastructures offering
– Common data-center services;
• Common set of Generic Enablers (GE);
• Common infrastructure and use-case monitoring services;
• Common access through the FI-LAB portal;
– Distinct unique services with local relevance;
• Wireless test-beds;
• Sensor networks;
• Access to Smart City infrastructures.
• The XIFI federation gains from this heterogeneity since
use-cases can be deployed to benefit from local
offerings.

17. Infrastructure inter-networking
• XIFI nodes are connected through a Multi-Domain
Virtual Private Network (MD-VPN) provided by multiple
National Research Networks (NRENs).
• Nodes connect directly or by a peer VPN with another
node.
15/05/2014 1st Training Session – Berlin, 15.05.2014 17

18. Infrastructure inter-networking
• All (initial) XIFI nodes connect both to the MD-VPN and
to the Internet.
– Internet access mainly provided for user access through the
portal and for connectivity with private clouds.
– The MD-VPN is used to share tenants across the federation.
• The MD-VPN provides
– OSI Layer 3 access – Layer 2 is foreseen.
– IPv4 – IPv6 is currently evaluated.
• The MD-VPN utilizes a dedicated private address range
(10.0.0.0/8) coordinated among nodes. The use case
controls if a virtual appliance exposes itself to the
federation or to the public Internet or both.
15/05/2014 1st Training Session – Berlin, 15.05.2014 18

19. Infrastructure architecture
• XIFI infrastructures are heterogeneous and may be
distributed – single site, multi-site, city-wide or nation-
wide. There is no common architecture.
• Example: the German node consists of two sites: the
data-center operated by Fraunhofer and the wireless
testbed operated by Deutsche Telekom.
15/05/2014 1st Training Session – Berlin, 15.05.2014 19

21. Upcoming challenges
XIFI is the market place to access FI-PPP technologies
and Future Internet infrastructure offer for large trials
developers in Europe
• From experimentation to large scale trials
– Exploitation toward European Cities and Regions.
– 800 Web Developers expected to use XIFI capacities.
• Synergies and cooperation between EU and US
– Cross analysis of best practise among respective sites (Field Trials,
European and US Cities and Regions, Communities of Developers).
• Sustainability
