RONIN provides a research cloud platform which enables scope for greater innovation and faster time to research by putting the power of the cloud directly in the hands of researchers. With the RONIN cloud platform, users can leverage the full potential of cloud computing without the need to navigate the complexities of platforms like AWS, streamlining the research process and empowering researchers to focus on what truly matters: advancing knowledge and driving discovery.
Researchers gain a competitive advantage by being able to easily use cloud computing because it offers virtually unlimited storage and computing resources and cutting edge hardware. This flexibility and scalability means that researchers never need to run out of disk space and always have a big enough computer at hand, within minutes. They have the freedom to tackle the largest problems, faster, accelerating the pace of scientific discovery.
As a researcher, the time spent learning the ins and outs of AWS complexities is time spent away from valuable work. RONIN's interface makes it easy for users of all skill levels to launch and manage cloud resources without being an IT or cloud expert. Researchers can have their workflows up and running in minutes and IT administrators can breathe easy knowing all resources that are created within RONIN will automatically inherit the required pre-defined security policies.
We know that research funds are precious, that's why cost management and visibility is always at the forefront in RONIN. RONIN provides a simple way to set budgets and timeframes, obtain forecasts of usage, and have complete financial oversight at a resource, project, and even whole institution level. Our Smart Schedule and Project Auto Pause features help prevent unwanted overspend and ensure everyone has financial peace of mind in the cloud.
Researchers rarely work alone and RONIN is architected to facilitate collaboration at every level. RONIN’s project-centric approach allows researchers in a lab to easily share workflows, datasets and complete compute environments, that can be saved and re-launched at any time, or shared with other projects. At a global level, RONIN can provide a common environment where collaborators from multiple sites can come together and work with the same data and software.
