Good practice
The HUN-REN Cloud provides large-scale computing resources for the Hungarian scientific community. It offers user support and reference architectures to facilitate its usage by researchers. During the EGI Advanced Computing for EOSC (EGI-ACE) project, the HUN-REN Cloud was made compatible with the EOSC Compute Platform. As a result, applications and processing algorithms can now be seamlessly transferred between the HUN-REN Cloud and other European research clouds.
Problem addressed
HUN-REN Cloud offers a reliable research infrastructure for computationally heavy, complex problems and scientific simulations, available 24/7 to the Hungarian research community free of charge. Thus, research organizations can rely on a centrally funded, managed and operated state-of-the-art tool that meets their computational needs and provides adequate know-how and support services to conduct their research.
Added value
Providing a flexible OpenStack-based cloud infrastructure, featuring 14 customisable reference architectures, alongside comprehensive user support and professional training services to enhance research productivity.
Offering advanced platform-level services for the development and deployment of generative AI applications as part of the HUN-REN AI4Science Programme.
Facilitating the execution of HPC workloads by integrating robust job management systems that optimise resource allocation.
