+\section{Introduction}
+\subsection{e-LAN}
+\begin{pframe}
+  A high speed dedicated network.
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Secure transfer of sensitive data.
+    \begin{itemize}
+      \item No need to set up a VPN.
+    \end{itemize}
+    \item High throughput, low latency.
+    \begin{itemize}
+      \item Access to remote storage using NFS.
+    \end{itemize}
+  \end{itemize}
+  \bigskip
+
+  Bringing data to computational facility is not always convenient.
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Data management concerns.
+    \begin{itemize}
+      \item Copies tend to lead their own life.
+    \end{itemize}
+    \item Size.
+  \end{itemize}
+\end{pframe}
+
+\subsection{Use case: cluster scale out}
+\begin{pframe}
+  Dynamic and transparent \emph{scale out} of a local cluster:
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Based on system load.
+    \item Access to remote nodes with \emph{local credentials}.
+    \item Access to local resources.
+  \end{itemize}
+  \bigskip
+
+  In other words, the remote nodes should behave just like local ones.
+  \medskip
+  \pause
+
+  We see the same requirements:
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Secure transfer.
+    \begin{itemize}
+      \item Lots of unencrypted traffic within a cluster.
+    \end{itemize}
+    \item High throughput, low latency.
+  \end{itemize}
+\end{pframe}
+
+\section{Situation sketch}
+\subsection{Local situation}
+\begin{pframe}
+  \begin{figure}[]
+    \begin{center}
+      \includegraphics[height=0.7\textheight]{current_lumc}
+    \end{center}
+    \caption{Schematic overview of our local situation.}
+  \end{figure}
+\end{pframe}
+
+\subsection{Use cases}
+\begin{pframe}
+  We focus on three main areas:
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Full genome sequencing data analysis (high volume).
+    \item Bacterial strain typing (low latency).
+    \item \emph{De novo} assembly (long run time).
+  \end{itemize}
+  \bigskip
+
+  But also:
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Experimenting with new queues and settings.
+    \begin{itemize}
+      \item Easy to give a couple of dedicated nodes for someone to test with.
+    \end{itemize}
+  \end{itemize}
+\end{pframe}
+
+\subsection{Local security}
+\begin{pframe}
+  You might have a strict security policy.
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Make sure the VMs in the cloud do not have direct access to the
+      internet.
+    \item All traffic is routed back to the institute (LUMC).
+  \end{itemize}
+  \bigskip
+
+  Regard these nodes as being in your own network.
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item No deep packet inspection on NFS traffic for example.
+  \end{itemize}
+\end{pframe}
+
+\subsection{Present situation}
+\begin{pframe}
+  \begin{figure}[]

+      \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{present}
+    \end{center}
+    \caption{Schematic overview of the present situation.}
+  \end{figure}
+\end{pframe}
+
+\section{Further plans}
+\subsection{Federated cloud}
+\begin{pframe}
+  This is a first step to full virtualisation of local clusters.
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Scaling out to other locations than SURF.
+  \end{itemize}
+  \bigskip
