Cloud providers
There are some restrictions in how EuroHPC computers available through ENCCS may be utilized for some workload tasks. In certain cases, where some specific tasks might be necessary (i.e., inferencing, production deployment), we refer our clients and users to commercial cloud providers. Below there is a non-exhaustive list of cloud providers, in alphabetical order, that has HPC-related services on the cloud (e.g., high-end computing infrastructure, GPUs, custom solutions or Kubernetes), and a brief description about them with the relevant services they offer. Please note that this is not an endorsement of such companies but rather a compilation of information for guiding ENCCS’ customers on their endeavours. Swedish and European providers are GDPR-compliant by default. Some local data protection laws (e.g., Switzerland) may apply instead or in addition to GDPR.
