Structura-X

The European Interoperable Cloud
Years: 2022 - Ongoing
The aim is to transform existing infrastructural services of cloud service providers (CSPs) into an ecosystem for European data sovereignty. The creation of a global European cloud infrastructure is underway: users will be able to test and deploy their services and data rooms within an infrastructure approved by Gaia-X.

RELATED PROJECTS

Fulcrum Project

Cloud Computing, Network infrastructure
The Universal Cloud Federation
Period: 2024 – Ongoing
The Fulcrum project was launched with the goal of creating a Federated Cloud model that emphasizes complementarity and collaboration rather than competition among providers of different sizes.
The project is built on two main pillars: the InterCloud Exchange Foundation (ICX) and the Computing Exchange Market (CEM). The ICX serves as a consensus forum for defining and agreeing upon open-source frameworks for infrastructure federation. These frameworks are then supported and implemented within the Computing Exchange Market, a platform designed to enable the exchange and visibility of resources and services, adopting the solutions agreed and defined within the ICX.

EWOC

Funded projects, Network infrastructure
Enabling Virtualized Wireless and Optical Coexistence for 5G and Beyond
Years: September 2022 – September 2027
The EWOC project plans to develop a new converged optical wireless network solution, based on flexible and virtualised infrastructure, for the complete optimisation of resources for beyond 5G requirements. EWOC will target high-capacity, low-latency communications (40-90 GHz), providing the basis for a 50-fold improvement in spectral efficiency.
