In\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/projects.switch.ch\/scale-up\/\" target=\"_blank\">SCALE-UP<\/a>,\u00a0 a Distributed Computing Platform (DCP) in the cloud will be developed that will allow researchers to provision and use their favourite data-processing framework (among a multitude of supported frameworks including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hadoop.apache.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hadoop<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/spark.apache.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Spark<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/storm.apache.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Storm<\/a>, etc.) on-demand over popular cloud frameworks such as\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.openstack.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">OpenStack<\/a>. For researchers who may not know the most suitable framework for their data processing needs, the DCP will provide a matching algorithm that will guide the researcher to the most suitable framework interactively.

Towards this target, a marketplace is envisioned and Cyclops framework will be customized to support self-configuration of billing models for products and services launched via this marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>An easy-to-use VM onboarding toolkit will be developed which would help researchers across all disciplines of science and technology move their local test VMs from Virtualbox environment into the SWITCH cloud.<\/p>\n<p>The SCALE-UP project officially runs until end of Dec. 2017.
