Description

This session presents the integration activities that will advance the IaaS capabilities of the EGI Federated Cloud, including the collaboration with the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre that will contribute to the technical integration of the Canadian federated cloud (CANFAR) for the realization of an international cloud infrastructure for astronomers, and the D4SCIENCE cloud infrastructure integration for the support of Marine and Freshwater biology with on-demand provisioning of Virtual Research Environments.

The technical requirements problems and opportunities for the realization of a multi-disciplinary international science cloud will be discussed with user communities, practitioners and cloud providers.

Who should attend?
- research communities contributing with cloud IaaS requirements
- cloud practitioners contributing to the technical advancement of the EGI federated cloud capabilities
- cloud providers willing to contribute to the realization of a international federated science cloud

66. Towards a international federated cloud for astronomers

Giuliano Taffoni (INAF - IASF Bologna), Severin Gaudet (National Research Council Canada)

19/05/2015, 13:30

Canadian Advanced Network for Astronomical Research (CANFAR) is digital infrastructure combining the Canadian national research network (CANARIE), cloud processing and storage resources (Compute Canada) and a data centre (Canadian Astronomy Data Centre) into a unified ecosystem for storage and processing. It is an operational system for the delivery, processing, storage, analysis, and sharing...

67. Expanding the iMarine infrastructure for maritime and freshwater biology

Andrea Manieri (Engineering), Pasquale Pagano (CNR - ISTI)

Presentation

Within Lifewatch User community, computing needs are very wide and diverse. From single web server deployment to large computing requirements in terms of memory or CPU like model processing or knowledge base searches. This community user is also very diverse in terms of IT knowledge. Although few cloud solutions provided for the near future are closer to PaaS, there are an IT experts user...

200. DARIAH technology platform on the EGI Federated Cloud

Dr Giuseppe La Rocca (INFN), Roberto Barbera (University of Catania and INFN)

19/05/2015, 14:30

In the last decade excellent Science has become more and more possible with e-Infrastructure. However, although various research domains, such as Medicine, Chemistry, and Physics, have already made extensive use of e-Infrastructure services’ potential, others such as Arts and Humanities are not yet exploiting them at the same pace. To bridge this gap, the EGI DARIAH Competence Centre (CC) ...
