Cornell Leads New National Science Foundation Federated Cloud Project
Initial users of the cloud federation were selected based on the diversity of their data analysis requirements and cloud usage modalities.
Cornell University will lead a five-year, $5 million project sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to build a federated cloud comprised of data infrastructure building blocks (DIBBs) designed to support scientists and engineers requiring flexible workflows and analysis tools for large-scale data sets, known as the Aristotle Cloud Federation.
The federated cloud will be deployed at Cornell University (CU), the University at Buffalo (UB), and the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and shared by seven science teams with over forty global collaborators.
