Pouta Cloud in short:
  • New IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) offering from CSC
  • Run your own virtual machines on CSC's supercluster (Taito)
  • Allows full control of applications, middleware and operating system
  • Permits direct connection to the internet, providing new collaboration opportunities
  • With great power comes greater responsibilities, users must manage and secure their servers

The Pouta cloud service is meant for all fields of science. It allows users to solve computational challenges which have not previously been possible to run on CSC's other systems. Some examples where the Pouta cloud service is especially suitable are research projects in requiring complex application stacks, or applications with a browser-based user interfaces. Course will consist of hands-on exercises.
