EVOLVE: HPC and cloud enhanced testbed for extracting value from large-scale diverse data

Abstract

EVOLVE is a pan-European Innovation Action building a converged infrastructure to bring together the HPC, Cloud, and Big Data worlds. EVOLVE's platform and software stack supports large-scale, data-intensive applications, driven primarily by industry requirements set by pilot and proof-of-concept use cases from diverse fields. Given the unprecedented data growth we are experiencing, EVOLVE's infrastructure is key in enabling the cost-effective processing of massive amounts of data and the adaptation of multiple high-end technologies, in an environment that fosters interoperability and enforces increased security.
