Cloud and High Performance Computing

The Masaryk University Institute of Computer Science offers its users and user groups a modern Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) service through a virtualisation platform. This service enables efficient use of computing resources in the form of virtual servers that provide users with high flexibility, scalability and reliability.

Up-to-date user documentation is available to support users:

• Proxmox VE
• VMware vSphere – discontinued environment

Masaryk University’s computing infrastructure is secured primarily by the CERIT-SC centre (CERIT Scientific Cloud), which maintains more than 4800 cores and 4 PB of storage.

CERIT-SC is a part of the National Grid Infrastructure (NGI) MetaCentrum, an activity of the CESNET association.

Currently, the original cloud services are migrating to a single platform. You can find the new environment under the MetaCloud/OpenStack link.
