Q&A
Description about the presentation
The EGI Federated Cloud is a IaaS-type cloud, made of academic private clouds and virtualized resources and built around open standards. Its development is driven by requirements of the scientific community. The result is a new type of research e-infrastructure, based on the mature federated operations services that make EGI a reliable resource for science.
When using EGI Federated Cloud resources, researchers and research communities can count on:
-
Total control over deployed applications
-
Elastic resource consumption based on real need
-
Immediately processed workloads – no more waiting time
-
An extended e-Infrastructure across resource providers in Europe
-
Service performance scaled with elastic resource consumption
In this webinar an overview of the EGI Federated Cloud and how this scalable computing platform can be used for data and/or compute driven research and/or support the development of advanced services for research and science will be provided by Enol Fernandez. The webinar will be relevant for researchers, and IT-service providers who support research and education.
