Fulcrum Project

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

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.
