Simulations, data analysis and research data management – with GPU and CPU processing power booked on a per-project basis, rather than spending years on grant applications.
Research is project-based – computing power should be too.
Simulations and machine learning analyses run on dedicated GPUs from €92.59 per month (billed by the hour) – booked for the duration of the project and charged to third-party funding.
S3 Object Storage makes datasets available in versioned and citable formats – from raw data to publication supplements.
Scaling batch jobs in Kubernetes – large parameter studies result in a large number of nodes, after which the cluster shrinks to zero.
Personal research data remains in German, C5-certified data centres – compliant with ethics committee requirements.
Analyses are carried out in Jupyter on a VM, scaled as container jobs in Kubernetes, and the results – along with the environment – are archived in S3; every publication remains traceable. Project-specific billing provides quotas and cReports for the management of third-party funding.
Customers typically implement this use case using these building blocks – which can be combined and expanded at any time.
Cloud for science: computing clusters, GPU nodes and storage for research projects – flexible, eligible for funding, based in Germany. The core component is Cloud GPU, starting from €92.59 per month – billed by the hour, with no minimum contract term. This is supplemented, as required, by Kubernetes and S3 Object Storage. The service is hosted in compliance with the GDPR in centron’s own certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz data centres, which hold BSI C5:2020 Type 1 certification.
