DestinE Data Bridge Infrastructure inaugurated in Bologna

NOTE: this is an excerpt of a news update that was originally published on the EC website.

The EuroHPC supercomputer Leonardo HPC, based in Bologna, has joined the distributed infrastructure of the Destination Earth Data Lake.

The data lake provides scientists, policymakers, and innovators with inter-connected datasets to use in solutions addressing pressing challenges such as adapting to the effects of climate change, supporting sustainable development and enhancing disaster risk response.

The Leonardo data bridge consists of hardware and software components, which enable users to connect to environmental datasets no matter where the data is located. It therefore allows for seamless integration and access to vast volumes of Earth system data produced on the Leonardo HPC.
