13. • Many Examples
• The Challenge: sustainability
Data
Acquisition &
modelling
Collaboration
and
visualisation
Analysis &
data mining
Dissemination
& sharing
Archiving and
preserving

14. • The network is fast but …
• The first mile problem
• FedX net.
• Use parallel streams to upload
• Don’t try to move it all
• Manage locality
• Keep the hot data local on cloud disk
• Manage the working set over time
• The rest is archival
• Let the data accrue
• Stream data directly to the cloud
• The Internet of Things = the Internet of Instruments
