Cloud Compute

Run virtual machines on demand with complete control over computing resources

Cloud Compute gives you the ability to deploy and scale virtual machines on-demand. It offers guaranteed computational resources in a secure and isolated environment with standard API access, without the overhead of managing physical servers.

Cloud Compute
Overview

Cloud Compute

With Cloud Compute, you can deploy and scale virtual machines on-demand. This means you’ll
have guaranteed computational resources at your fingertips in a secure and isolated environment.
Plus, with open API access, you can enjoy all the benefits of virtualisation without the overhead of managing physical servers.

Main features

Here are a few ways you can use Cloud Compute to enhance your workflow:

  • Execute compute- and data-intensive workloads (both batch and interactive) with ease
  • Host long-running services like web servers, databases, or application servers
  • Create disposable testing and development environments on virtual machines and scale your infrastructure as necessary
  • Select virtual machine configurations (CPU, memory, disk) to suit your needs
  • Manage your Cloud Compute resources in a flexible way with integrated monitoring and
    accounting capabilities

With EGI Cloud Compute, you can easily select pre-configured virtual appliances from our extensive catalogue, which is replicated across all EGI cloud providers. This means you can access a wide variety of computing resources without having to worry about maintenance, upgrades, or hardware failures.
You can also scale up or down your computing resources based on your research needs, without disrupting your workflow.

Riding the waves of success: How OBSEA leveraged EGI Cloud Compute

OBSEA is a cutting-edge underwater observatory that revolutionises the exploration and
comprehension of seas and oceans. As oceans are intricate and dynamic systems, a thorough understanding of their complexities is essential.
OBSEA’s innovative approach involves gathering a high-resolution, multidisciplinary, long-timeseries collection of environmental variables that sheds light on the complexity of these vast bodies of water. The EGI Cloud Compute service plays a crucial role in ensuring scientific excellence by providing the necessary infrastructure to deploy
data acquisition and data visualisation services.
Consequently, the combination of OBSEA and EGI Cloud Compute service represents a significant advancement in oceanic research, providing invaluable insights into the mysteries of the world’s oceans.
