THE MASS BIG DATA INITIATIVE
FORMULA FOR GLOBAL LEADERSHIP
Mass Big Data Initiative launched by Governor Patrick in 2012
• 500 Companies
• 10 leading research centers
• 5,600 graduates from 14 data
• science-related programs
• $2.5B investment in Big Data
• Highest Density of Big
Data talent in the US is in MA.

MASS OPEN CLOUD
An Open Computing Marketplace …
Negotiating Whatever Services
you need from Multiple Vendors
3 year project to build public cloud that
will serve as a shared infrastructure in the
Commonwealth for running computationally
intensive and Big Data applications.

MASS OPEN CLOUD…CONT’D
• BU’s Center for Cloud Innovation partnering with MGHPCC, its
four partner universities, tech companies, and Oak Ridge
National Lab
• Designed to embrace software, hardware, and services
companies as partners in a multi-sided marketplace
• All stakeholders have access to operational data and cloud
operations
• OCX (Open Cloud eXchange) system creates an open
economic model where partners decide how to charge for their
services
• OCX design reduces the responsibility of the provider and
broadens the availability of performance and operational data
• MOC ecosystem created to generate economic development
and innovation by engaging partners in the marketplace

MOC VALUE
Benefits to Commonwealth Users: • Can move data into, within, and out of the cloud efficiently and inexpensively
• Can evaluate and use services from many vendors
• Access to large public data sets, including the public data sets of the
Commonwealth.
Benefits to Industry • Can integrate, test and certify HW and SW
• Demonstrate technologies for private and public clouds
• Evaluate (new) products with real customers at an early stage
• Engage with researchers and students; workforce development
Benefits to Academic Institutions: • A unique platform for research on cloud computing
• Increased competitiveness for funding from federal agencies,
foundations industrial partners.

Closing Thoughts
• What we have done so far
– Deliver Operationally
2 years successful collaboration on common
infrastructure
– Show Research Collaboration Proof Points
Pooling resources across institutions can
deliver powerful results
– Catalyze Near Term and Longer Term
Economic Impact
Research and education
• What lies ahead
– Creative use of the resource:
Results that could not have occurred
