“Thanks to RedCLARA, Latin American researchers are now an integral part of the global research community. It is well known that high speed research networks encourage cross-border collaboration, creating a global scientific community that pools resources for more efficient and effective research. RedCLARA’s interconnection with Europe has created new opportunities for Latin American researchers to work with their European colleagues.”
“In any grid solution is important the communication speed between servers and compute nodes, which is why RedCLARA could facilitate an optimum communications infrastructure. Furthermore RedCLARA also represents diverse communities of researchers who may be interested in using this new service.”
