Abstract

Cloud computing has been increasingly used in various fields due to its flexibility, scalability, cost effectiveness, etc. Recently, many scientific communities have been attempting to use cloud computing as a way to deal with difficulties in constructing and operating a research infrastructure. Especially, since they need various collaborations based on networking, such as sharing experimental data, redistributing experimental results, and so forth, cloud computing environment that supports high performance networking is required for scientific communities. To address these issues, we propose RealLab, a high performance cloud platform for collaborative research that provides virtual experimental research environment and data sharing infrastructure over KREONET/GLORIAD. Additionally, we describe some RealLab use cases for showing the swift creation of experimental environment and explain how massive experimental data can be transferred and shared among the community members.

클라우드 컴퓨팅은 유연한 사용 및 제반 비용 절감 등을 이점으로 다양한 분야에서 그 사용 범위를 넓혀가고 있다. 최근, 과학기술연구 분야에서도 연구 인프라 구축 및 운영의 어려움을 해결하기 위한 한 방법으로서 클라우드 컴퓨팅의 적용이 시도되고 있다. 특히, 과학기술 연구 분야는 대용량 실험데이터의 확보 및 결과데이터 공유 등 네트워킹 기반의 다양한 협업을 필요로 하므로 고성능 네트워킹 인프라를 기반으로 한 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경의 제공이 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 KREONET/GLORIAD 상에서 실험환경과 데이터의 공유 인프라를 포함하여 과학기술연구 분야의 통합 연구 환경을 제공하는 클라우드 기반의 협업연구 플랫폼인 RealLab을 제안한다. 그리고 그 활용시나리오를 통해 물리적인 시스템의 설치 없이 필요로 하는 연구 환경을 신속하게 생성할 수 있고, 대용량의 실험데이터를 빠르게 전송 및 공유할 수 있는 방안을 제시한다.
