The Edinburgh International Data Facility (EIDF) is recognised as a state-of-the-art, high-powered data analytics and storage service. The Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC) built and manages EIDF specifically to underpin the Data Driven Innovation (DDI) initiative as part of the Edinburgh and South-East Scotland City Region Deal. To support a wide array of research and innovation projects, EPCC sought a robust, flexible private cloud environment.

StackHPC was engaged by EPCC to provide a "from design to support" solution for the EIDF Data Science Cloud (DSC). This collaboration successfully delivered a resilient, highly targeted software-defined environment specifically tailored for the research community.
