Clouds

The MuGVRE is build on top of a cloud-based infrastructure. vre.multiscalgenomics.eu is the web portal that provides access to the virtualized platform. Currently it is based on a single service cloud hosted by the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB), yet the infrastructure plans to grow in the following months adding two extra clouds of the MuG consortium, and other compute platforms can be gradually integrated in the future, like the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI). For developing and testing purposes, the cloud hosted at the Barcelona Supercomputing center is used.
