The TOP-IX virtualization and cloud computing infrastructure aims to deliver resources at various levels in “Best Effort” or “As a Service” mode.

The TOP-IX cloud guarantees and supplies resources in order to provide:

• infrastructure support to start-ups supported by the Development Program;
• infrastructure support to NON-PROFIT projects supported by TOP-IX;

• resources for experimental activities and services performed with Consortium members;
• resources for internal TOP-IX services.

The delivery of the above resources implicitly foresees the availability of high performance capillary Internet connectivity thanks to the Internet Exchange services and transit agreements with global Internet operators.
