University of California, Berkeley Joins Open Cloud Consortium

By R&D Editors | October 1, 2012

University of California, Berkeley Joins Open Cloud Consortium

The Open Cloud Consortium (OCC) has announced that the University of California, Berkeley is now a member of the OCC. The OCC manages and operates the Open Science Data Cloud (OSDC), which is a multi-petabyte distributed cloud-based infrastructure for managing, analyzing, integrating and sharing scientific data. Over the past four years of operations, the OSDC has developed the expertise to set up and operate open source science clouds over geographically distributed data centers connected with 10G high performance networks.

 

The OCC currently distributes approximately 1 PB of scientific data to interested users and plans in each of the next several years to roughly double the amount of data that it distributes.

 

Students and researchers affiliated with the University of California, Berkeley interested in big data will have access to the OCC’s Hadoop based OCC-Y cluster, available to select universities through a generous donation by Yahoo!.

 

The OCC has been providing cloud infrastructure for researchers with big data needs since 2009. The Consortium is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit supporting the scientific community by operating cloud infrastructure to support scientific, environmental, medical and healthcare research, including

• support for the development of standards for cloud computing and frameworks for interoperating between clouds

• developing benchmarks for cloud computing

• supporting reference implementations for cloud computing

• managing a testbed for cloud computing called the Open Cloud Testbed

• sponsoring workshops and other events related to cloud computing.
