Cloud and Grid Computing
The Umeå University research on Clouds & Grids - Flexible and Scalable IT Infrastructure covers research projects with the objective to develop specifications and prototype implementations for the future IT infrastructure for large-scale provisioning of IT services.
The Umeå University research on flexible and scalable IT infrastructures covers a range of topics central to cloud and grid computing.
Research drivers are compute and data intensive applications requiring, e.g., elastic locality-aware infrastructures to meet the rapid capacity and locality variations of industrial services and large-scale distributed environments that enable coordinated use of federated resources for eScience.
Research outcomes include autonomous infrastructure management systems and sophisticated tools for creating cloud-enabled applications. Central to the approach are software with flexibility in deployment and policy customization, providing key functionality for broad sets of usage scenarios.
