Cloud Computing

Cloud computing and virtualization offer opportunities to meet the ever-growing digital needs of education and research with less infrastructure and fewer resources to manage. That is why IDCS has chosen to rely on cloud infrastructures for education and research, such as VirtualData operated by IJCLab, extending it to the IP Paris campus.

The VirtualData Cloud Computing Platform

The platform is an IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) cloud service powered by OpenStack software. It offers exclusive resources available on demand, ideal for one-off data processing tasks requiring dedicated resources. Users have complete control over the software stacks installed on their resources. Possible use cases include data collection and analysis, deployment of Jupyter notebook platforms, training, web application development, and much more.
