This page is in a draft state. It is intended as a more permanent (yet temporary) home for the information collected on the science clouds etherpad.
Intro
This page serves as a temporary location for a curated list of OpenStack based Science Clouds, where a Science Cloud is loosely defined as:
- cloud infrastructure with the primary purpose of supporting research computing in its various shapes and sizes (from single machine RStudio to high-performance cluster computing to clinical study analysis)
- supporting a predominantly research oriented user-base
- having a sector, community, and/or merit based access model
- non-commercial1
Science Cloud Directory
| Name & link | Location | Available to | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| CERN | Europe | CERN users | |
| CSC.FI | Finland | CSC customers | |
| NeCTAR | Australia | Publicly funded Australian researchers | |
| [Grid5000] | France | Distributed computing researchers |
Footnotes
1 Commercial clouds can have a science and research focus too, but this list is intended for those infrastructures operating primarily in the interest of public funded research.
