The BonFIRE consortium brings together world leading industrial and
academic organisations in cloud computing to deliver a robust, reliable
and sustainable facility for large scale experimentally-driven cloud
research. Multinational companies (ATOS, HP, SAP), renowned universities
and super computing centres (UCM, EPCC, HLRS Stuttgart, IBBT, TUB),
research centres (IT Innovation, FhG Fokus, INRIA, i2CAT) and technology
analysts (451 Group) provide the complimentary expertise and
infrastructure resources necessary to accelerate the research and
development within the Internet of Services community.
In September 2011, the consortium was extended to include PSNC and NextWorks to develop the networking features of BonFIRE. As a result of the 1st open call, the consortium was extended in September 2011 to include additional research centres and
companies using the facility for cloud computing research, namely University of
Manchester, CESGA, CETIC, Cloudium Systems and RedZinc.
The BonFIRE project is funded by the EC FP7 under grant agreement number 257386, with a contribution of 7,2M Euro, including 1,34M Euro for 2 open calls for experiments.
