Data spaces for Sustainable & Transparent Cloud Infrastructure

Optimised and fine-tuned data centres are often managed remotely and need real-time, accurate operational information for effective management. Operational data is business-critical, highly confidential, and requires a high level of trust for exchange and sharing.

Data centres powering cloud infrastructure are under constant pressure to optimise operational costs and meet the growing demand for operational transparency. Small and medium-sized data centres are collaborating to share the operational information essential for environmental control around the infrastructure. The increasing data from server equipment and sensors is used to optimise operations and reduce energy consumption. However, this data often exists in various formats and is not easily accessible via APIs, posing a major challenge to its utilisation.

TUDD (Trust yoUr Data Center), with the i4Trust unified approach, addresses these challenges by delivering a set of standards-based open-source technology building blocks and legal frameworks to create data spaces. TUDD aims to share data centre operational data for remote operations, customers, and owners, with additional benefits such as unified data storage and distribution.

The roles in the data space are defined based on the iSHARE Trust Framework, which adheres to FIWARE’s standard data models. Security and accessibility are ensured through iSHARE components integration and the Satellite, which validates access, authorises user accounts, and manages policies.
