Our services are provided by EGI’s federated cloud providers and data centres. They can be requested by everyone involved in academic research.
Compute
EGI compute infrastructure provides fast and flexible compute capacity to fit any research need, from Cloud compute to Cloud Container compute, and High-Throughput compute. Our Workload Manager ensure the computing tasks are managed and distributed efficiently, while maximising the use of resources.
Did you know?
EGI HTC federated infrastructure delivered more than 6.9 billion CPU hours in the last 12 months. Our Cloud computing services rely on more than 3 Millions virtual machines.
Compute orchestration
Our compute orchestration services allow you to easily manage your computing workload across the EGI distributed infrastructure.
Did you know?

Access policies
The EGI services can be accessed through the following access policies
1. Policy-based access
+
Users are granted access based on policies defined by the EGI resource providers or by the EGI Foundation; such policies usually apply to resources being offered with “sponsored use” to meet some national or EU level objective; for instance, a country may offer resources with “sponsored use” to support national researchers involved in international collaborations.
2. Wide access
+
Users can freely access scientific data and digital services provided by EGI resource providers.
3. Market-driven
+
Users can negotiate a fee to access services either directly with EGI resource providers or indirectly with the EGI Foundation.
Notes
+
Services allowing access to rival resources (e.g. computing capacity or storage space) are usually provided under a policy-based or market-driven access policy. Services allowing access to non-rival resources (e.g. software packages or scientific data) are usually provided under a wide access policy. All access policies may not be available for each and every resource, service or scientific data set.
