The Pacific Research Platform (PRP) is a high-bandwidth global private "cloud" connected to commercial clouds that provides researchers with distributed computing resources. It links Science DMZs at universities across California and beyond using a high-performance network. The PRP utilizes Data Transfer Nodes called FIONAs to transfer data at near full network speeds. It has adopted Kubernetes to orchestrate software containers across its resources. The PRP provides petabytes of distributed storage and hundreds of GPUs for machine learning. It allows researchers to perform data-intensive science across multiple universities much faster than possible individually.
