We are proud to announce an agreement (SLA) between a group of data centres and Terradue Srl, a leading company in delivering e-Infrastructures for earth sciences.
<a href="https://www.terradue.com/portal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Terradue</a> was awarded by the <a href="http://www.esa.int/ESA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">European Space Agency</a> as the technical lead to develop and operate the cloud infrastructure supporting user communities on the geohazards and hydrology thematic exploitation platforms. The Terradue cloud platform is designed to address the challenges traditionally associated with the handling of massive and complex data streams that can support thematic expertise (e.g., large earth observation datasets relevant to geohazards studies, or hydrological information collected from multiple models and data streams).
<a href="http://www.egi.eu/">EGI</a> has a mission to create and deliver open solutions for science and research infrastructures by federating digital capabilities, resources and expertise between communities and across national boundaries.
Thanks to the <a href="https://documents.egi.eu/public/ShowDocument?docid=2763">agreement</a>, that will be valid for at least one year, Terradue will be able to access European cloud compute resources delivered by the following <a href="https://www.egi.eu/federation/egi-federated-cloud/">federated cloud providers</a> of EGI:
<ul>
<li>100% IT (UK)</li>
<li>CESGA (Spain)</li>
<li>CYFRONET-CLOUD (Poland)</li>
<li>HG-09-Okeanos-Cloud (GRNET, Greece)</li>
<li>RECAS-BARI (Italy)</li>
<li>GoeGrid (Germany)</li>
</ul>
In total, the 6 data centres offer more than 360 virtual CPU cores, 800 GB of memory and 10TB of storage.
Giuseppe La Rocca, Technical Outreach Expert at the EGI Foundation, facilitated the establishment of bilateral Service Level Agreements: “These agreements offer Terradue the possibility to use EGI resources for helping researchers to tackle new data challenges.&#8221;&nbsp;
Cesare Rossi, Manager of Cloud Computing Solutions at Terradue, also commented: “We are very happy to have Service Level Agreements established with EGI.eu. They extend our hybrid cloud infrastructure using a new OpenNebula OCCI driver, and provide a reliable&nbsp; Cloud infrastructure for the ESA Thematic Exploitation Platforms users”.
“Teaming up with a major European Cloud Computing provider through our Partner Programme is reinforcing the strategic evolutions of Terradue Cloud Platform” said Hervé Caumont, head of Terradue Platform Operations, “as this new capacity will support our Cloud Platform users to run near real-time processing of satellite data acquisitions”.
