UPPMAX cloud

Cloud services allow a user to have something active (typically a website) that can be accessed by the internet.

The NAISS 'Swedish Science Cloud (SSC)', consists out of multiple regions. The eastern region (called EAST-1) of SCC is named 'Dis' (the Swedish word for 'haze') and is hosted by Uppsala university (the service is called 'UPPMAX cloud') and Umeå University (north, HPC2N).

History of Dis

The UPPMAX cloud 'Dis' (Swedish word for 'haze') and successor of 'Smog' (Swedish for 'smog') was introduced in October 2017 and upgraded during 2020.
