Thanks to the new common solutions developed by the INDIGO DataCloud project, teams of first-­line researchers in Europe are using public and private Cloud resources to get new results in Physics, Biology, Astronomy, Medicine, Humanities and other disciplines. INDIGO-­developed solutions have for instance enabled new advances in understanding how the basic blocks of matter (quarks) interact, using supercomputers, how new molecules involved in life work, using GPUs, or how complex new repositories to preserve and consult digital heritage can be easily built. The variety of the requirements coming from these so diverse user communities proves that the modular INDIGO platform, consisting of several state-­of-­the-­art, production-­level services, is flexible and general […]
