The amount of data produced in life sciences is continuously rising and is impossible to analyze on local computers. For that reason the German network for bioinformatics de.NBI is establishing a cloud computing environment called de.NBI Cloud with the prospect to be integrated into the European life sciences network Elixir. For that process and for the interconnection of compute centers a novel cloud platform “de.NBI Cloud Portal” was developed. It utilizes Elixir’s authentication and authorization infrastructure and connects five OpenStack-driven compute centers together in an abstract manner. This thesis deals with requirements, design and initial implementation of the de.NBI Cloud Portal.
