Description
Consolidation towards more computing at flat budgets beyond what pure chip technology
can offer, is a requirement for the full scientific exploitation of the future data from the
Large Hadron Collider. One consolidation measure is to exploit cloud infrastructures whenever
they are financially competitive. We report on the technical solutions and the performance used
and achieved running ATLAS production on SWITCHengines. SWITCHengines is the new
cloud infrastructure offered to Swiss academia by the National Research and Education Network
SWITCH. While solutions and performances are general, financial considerations and policies,
which we also report on, are country specific.
