The C-SCALE Compute Federation delivers access to cloud and HPC/HTC resources to support Copernicus and Earth Observation related research activities. This document describes the services supported by the C-SCALE Compute Federation and how they support Copernicus and EO data analytics.

This report presents an update of the assessment of the C-SCALE services provided through the Virtual Access (VA) mechanism to the users. These include computing and storage resources. The deliverable describes the existing VA installations, their management within the project, updates the usage metrics delivered from the start of the project (January 2021) until Month 24 (December 2022) and reports on the Green Computing metrics and initiatives from the C-SCALE providers.

The C-SCALE Compute Federation brings together European commercial (e.g. Copernicus DIAS) and public (from e-infrastructure) computing providers to deliver a federated infrastructure to support Copernicus and Earth Observation (EO) use cases that deal with data- and compute-intensive workloads. The federation makes computing e-Infrastructure, potentially consisting of multiple services provided collaboratively by several service providers, accessible through homogeneous interfaces using a common AAI framework. Hence, C-SCALE facilitates the deployment of research applications that make use of EO and Copernicus datasets, e.g. Sentinel-series satellite data, that are distributed across multiple providers. This document describes the overall architecture of the C-SCALE Compute Federation, that provides users with the baseline computing resources to perform Earth Observation related analytics on a distributed e-Infrastructure.
