Services

EIDF is optimised for data science and artificial intelligence. We offer a range of compute services from scalable notebooks, through data science desktops to specialist compute platforms, including a large-scale AI engine—the Cerebras.

EIDF provides data services for the ingress, storage, discovery and re-use of data. Projects can store and process data in their allocated private spaces using different storage protocols such as S3, mounted file systems and storage on virtual machines. Projects can share privately their data through S3 buckets.

Organisations and researchers can publish large data sets for free using the EIDF Data Publishing service if the data is shared under a open common license. These data sets will be discoverable on the public EIDF Catalogue and can be access through open read-only S3 buckets.

EPCC has developed and operates the EPCC Safe Haven Services, an infrastructure for independent organisations to control their own Safe Haven Services under the guidance of the Five Safes framework. The EPCC Safe Haven Services are therefore a Safe Setting that offers a secure data sharing and analysis environment that allows approved researchers access to sensitive, including special category data, under the terms and conditions prescribed by the data providers. EPCC also provides advanced data management and data analytics skills to the Safe Havens that we host.
