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.

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.

Fulcrum Project

Cloud Computing, Network infrastructure
La federazione universale del cloud
Periodo: 2024 – In corso
Il progetto Fulcrum nasce con l’obiettivo di realizzare un modello di Cloud Federato che fa leva sulla complementarità e sulla collaborazione, piuttosto che sulla competizione tra fornitori di diverse dimensioni.
Il progetto poggia su due pilastri: l’InterCloud Exchange Foundation (ICX) e il Computing Exchange Market (CEM). Il primo funge da stanza del consenso per definire e concordare framework open-source per la federazione delle infrastrutture, che saranno supportati e implementati all’interno del CEM, piattaforma di scambio e visibilità per risorse e servizi, che adotta soluzioni concordate e definite all’interno della ICX.

Years: December 2022 – November 2025
DECICE aims to develop an AI-based, open and portable cloud management framework for automatic and adaptive optimization and deployment of applications in a federated infrastructure, including computing from the very large (e.g., HPC systems) to the very small (e.g., IoT sensors connected on the edge).
