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
