Open Commons Consortium
The Open Cloud Consortium (aka OCC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit venture which provides cloud computing resources to support "scientific, environmental, medical and health care research."[1][2] OCC manages and operates resources including the Open Science Data Cloud (aka OSDC), which is a multi-petabyte scientific data sharing resource.[1]. The consortium is based in Chicago, Illinois, and is managed by the 501(c)3 Center for Computational Science Research.[3]
Partnerships and engagements
The OCC was among six partners engaged by the Global Lambda Integrated Facility to establish a testbed for a 100 Gbps data transmission capabilty.[4]
