A Case Study on Cloud in Research

Impact: Researchers now have a straightforward checklist to help them decide whether cloud computing can help them with their work. The RAPPORT project investigated the use of cloud across a range of research projects, and a variety of cloud computing types. That has allowed the team to create a Best Practice checklists for researchers breaking down the different aspects of cloud use that have to be considered…

Problem: Cloud computing is the buzzword of the moment, so it can be hard to tell where it’s useful and where it might actually be counterproductive. There have been two popular viewpoints, neither necessarily based on much evidence. On the one hand, the general feeling in the research community has tended to be that cloud computing – and virtualised environments in general – don’t really suit the very specific needs of HPC…Click here to read more...
