Atlantic Cloud

A transatlantic computing network built and operated by AIR Centre associates — shared storage, high-performance computing and web infrastructure for science across the Atlantic.

Each node contributes resources to a common pool, so associates keep control of their own infrastructure while sharing capacity and data with the network. Access is arranged through the AIR Centre.

What it offers
• Infrastructure and software as a service (IaaS, SaaS)
• High-performance computing, including ocean modelling on the Escola de Sagres supercomputer
• Earth Observation data storage and access
• API access to data and compute

Nodes
• IPRJ-UERJ, Rio de Janeiro
• LAMCE / COPPE / UFRJ, Rio de Janeiro
• AIR Data Centre, Azores
• INPE, Brazil
