Empowering Research & Simplifying Infrastructure
Challenge: Bridging the Gap for Research on the Cloud
Modern research increasingly relies on cloud computing, yet many university and agency researchers lack dedicated IT and DevOps support with expertise in complex cloud infrastructure. Their support organizations may be stretched thin, unable to manage the demands of today's cloud-native technologies. CyVerse bridges this gap.
We leverage modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) architectures to provide robust, scalable, and accessible authentication, storage, and compute systems designed for the research community.
Leverage CyVerse Capabilities for Your Research Community
Our goal is to empower your researchers and developers to easily utilize their preferred tools (web-based or command-line) and build custom services on reliable infrastructure. Connect with a vibrant community of over 30,000 researchers, developers, and educators through our open platforms.
Federate with CyVerse: Integrate your institutional identity management and computational resources with CyVerse. This broadens data discoverability and allows your users to easily scale their analyses to larger national compute resources when needed.
Science APIs: Integrate your existing tools, compute resources, and storage systems with the capabilities CyVerse provides. Define how your resources interact with ours for seamless workflows.
CACAO (Cloud Automation & Continuous Analysis Orchestration): Quickly create custom, cloud-based scientific analysis platforms tailored to your needs, or deploy ready-made platforms designed for specific scientific domains.
- Discovery Environment: Access hundreds of bioinformatics applications and manage large datasets through a user-friendly web interface – ideal for researchers needing powerful tools without deep command-line expertise.
Partner with CyVerse for Deeper Integration & Support
"Powered by CyVerse" Agreements: Leverage CyVerse's core infrastructure – our robust user authentication, large-scale data storage, and high-performance job execution framework – directly within your own projects. Offer these capabilities seamlessly to your users under your project's banner through an agreement with The University of Arizona.
- Authentication: Provide secure Single Sign-On (SSO) between your application and all CyVerse services.
- Data Store: Enable your users to store, manage, share, and distribute large datasets effectively.
- Job Execution: Allow users to run complex analyses on High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources directly from your application or CyVerse, simplifying access to powerful computing.
- External Collaborative Partnerships (ECP): Seeking federal research funding? Partner with us during the grant proposal phase and post-award for dedicated, in-depth technical and infrastructure support.
Focus on the Science, We'll Handle the Infrastructure
CyVerse provides the foundational cloud services and expertise, allowing research groups and IT departments to focus on their primary goals: advancing science and supporting users, not just managing complex infrastructure.
