Printable Summary

E-Infrastructures for science have been built to support scientific collaborations and enable digital research to tackle modern grand challenges. On the other side, the commoditisation of virtualisation technologies and the emerging of cloud computing from commercial providers is becoming attractive to some scientific domains or groups. This presentation introduces a number of initial use cases that would benefit from the integration of commercial and publicly-funded infrastructure. The goal is to stimulate the discussion on technical, legal, policy and business aspects.
