On the sustainability of large-scale computer science testbeds: the Grid'5000 case
Résumé
In this position paper, we look at the financial sustainability of Grid'5000. The duration of the project (over 12 years) owes
more to successive investment decisions and continued support rather than from a well
understood and operated business model generating enough revenue to
covers costs and investments.
In this paper, we will give an overview of a typical cost
structure for a large-scale testbed, we
summarize with a few statements our views and develop
pros and cons of a few funding sources. The way
Grid'5000 is funded is detailed, before giving some data
used to compute the unit cost for Grid'5000 resources.
