Integration of education, science and industry on the basis of cloud technologies: world experience

Abstract

When developing system software tools for research, researchers need access to full-scale distributed data centers. In some countries, such as the United States, Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft services are provided to researchers at the expense of the National Science Foundation budget. However, such programs are focused on application software developers, and the problem of access to such resources has not been solved for specialists in the field of system software development engaged in the creation of hardware and software infrastructures. One of the initiatives to create a cloud infrastructure open to researchers was the OpenCirrus project, aimed at creating an open test bed based on distributed data centers to support developers working in the field of creating application and system clouds.
