The BioData.pt computing infrastructure is provided by Portuguese academic institutions, with complementary services hosted at the Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services.
It is managed by INESC-ID and includes:
- Creation of virtual machines in OpenStack-based Cloud Services
- Deployment of instances running our VM images. Our service is free of charge for academic Portuguese research projects.
- Deployment and management of instances at Google Cloud, or any other OpenStack platform, running biocomputing software for a fee.
The computing infrastructure is provided at the following institutions:
- Centro de Ciências do Mar (CCMAR)
- Infraestrutura Nacional de Computação Distribuída (INCD). The INCD is running a pilot phase and is available to researchers for testing
- Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC)
- Instituto Superior Técnico (IST)
BioData.pt offers the option to set up a virtual machine with preconfigured bioinformatics software. The following virtual machine images are available:
| Image | Description |
|---|---|
| GVL | Genomics Virtual Lab image fitted with its base flavour. |
| Docker Galaxy | The Galaxy Docker Image is an easy distributable full-fledged Galaxy installation, that can be used for testing, teaching and presenting new tools and features. |
| Galaxy Europe | The biggest Galaxy instance in Europe. |
