EGI for EOSC

EGI Node

Operated by the EGI Foundation on behalf of the EGI Federation, the Node provides scalable compute, storage, data management and advanced digital research services for data-intensive science. It delivers EOSC Core and Federating Capabilities including AAI, catalogue, monitoring, accounting, helpdesk and application deployment management, while supporting multi-node use cases in reproducible workflows, AI, sensitive data analysis, machine learning and federated LLM services.

EGI for EOSC

Key Objective in Capacity as a Node
