The Home for Scientific Data, Software, and Tools
DECTRIS CLOUD is an open collaboration platform that is free to use for all academic scientists. It’s a place to share data, algorithms, and tools to co-create together. Find out how things work and why scientists trust us.
Collaboration Simplified
Instant sharing of data, software environments & workflows
Grant immediate access to your data, software environment or job by adding new collaborators. No sync or copy - just click a button.
Custom projects with shared data drive & logbook
Create your own personal or public projects. Structure all data in one place, keep notes in the logbook and add your collaborative team to grant them real time access.
Real-time multi user access to same dataset
Everyone works on the same data at the same time, mounted on your machine. No unwanted copies, forking or versions drift - one source, unlimited users.
Coming soon: Real time collaboration in Jupyter Notebooks
Write, code and iterate in real time with your colleagues within the same notebook.
Tools & Data Ready
Community curated software packages preinstalled and ready to use
Choose one of our many preinstalled, community curated software packages: just click, run and start exploring your data. No installation, no dependency issues, just science.
Virtual sessions for interactive analysis
Spin up multiple virtual machines or jupyter notebooks, choose the performance, and start visualizing and exploring your results. Coming soon: hand over your private session to your collaborator.
Data always mounted via high speed connection
No syncing back and forth of data between machines, servers or hard drives. Your data is just there, mounted via a high-bandwidth file system and ready to be crunched.
Growing repository of automated processing workflows
For fully autonomous processing of data, a growing number of automated jobs are predefined and ready to use with a click. Reliable results based on your community workflows you can trust.
Custom & Reproducible
Interactively customizable environments with full isolation
It’s your workspace environment: interactively install, and load whatever software you need - your choice, always. Share, run and rerun your environment in fully isolated sandboxes: because we all learn best from the things we break.
Full admin rights for every user
It’s your workspace: you have all the rights and power to do whatever you want. No SysAdmin restrictions, no permissions error - sudo to the world of science.
Automated versioning of environments and automated jobs
Every snapshot of your software environments or processing jobs are automatically versioned and stored for future reuse. Jump back in time, rerun the analysis from 4 years ago your reviewer requested - all at the click of a button.
Temporary data versioning for overwrite / delete protection
Accidentally deleted a file? Overwrote it with an unwanted script? Mistakes happen - we get it - but they are not the end of the world. We temporarily keep several versions of each file to make sure you can travel back in time without having to rerun the experiment.
Scale Your Way
On-demand access to 100s of CPUs per session
Whenever you start a virtual machine, Jupyter session or automated job, choose the performance of your machine you need for that task. Up to 192 CPUs or 4 GPUs per session.
Elastic storage bursts to petabyte scale
Cloud storage works differently: we don’t care how much data you store at a time - all that matters is your average utilization over the last 90 days. Perfect for peak loads and usage.
No coded queuing system or workflow language
Boosting your processing and analysis is as easy as choosing your performance. No batch scripts, SLURM or coding needed. We take care of the scheduling and orchestration.
Coming soon: Upgrade your machine with the click of a button
Your current session is running out of memory? Or do you need more cores? Upgrade or downgrade your performance with the click of a button
Designed for You
Synchrotrons
Seamlessly integrate DECTRIS CLOUD in your beamline: Augment your user operation through a virtual workspace accessible from anywhere: data availability within seconds, API based automation of processing jobs and instant access to thousands of CPUs ensure you are ready for the most demanding experiments.
Electron Microscopy
Effortlessly empower your EM workflows with DECTRIS CLOUD: From 4DSTEM to CryoEM, SPA, and CryoET, our platform delivers immediate access to datasets, has common tools ready to use (CryoSparc, Relion, …), and scales to thousands of CPUs and several GPUs on demand - so your team can focus on high-resolution insights instead of syncing data between servers.
PhDs & PostDocs
Accelerate discovery with DECTRIS CLOUD: Designed for data-intensive science, our platform gives you instant access to experimental results, ready-to-use environments with tools you trust, and on-demand compute that scales with your curiosity - so you can iterate faster, collaborate globally, and stay focused on what matters: the science.
