OnApp has joined Intel, BT, Cambridge University, NEC and other field leaders on the EU-funded Trilogy 2 project. Trilogy 2 is a collaboration that aims to develop and promote new communication standards that will enable fluid access to compute, storage and bandwidth resources across geographically distributed clouds. By connecting pools of cloud infrastructure and promoting standards for interoperability in this way, the Trilogy 2 project will help evolve today’s disconnected cloud resources into a ‘liquid network’ that enables businesses to draw on the most appropriate resources for their needs, based on various metrics such as location, price and performance.
