EGI Federated Cloud

The EGI Federated Cloud is an IaaS-type cloud consisting of academic, private clouds and virtualised resources built around open standards. The requirements of the scientific community drive its development.

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
