International Institute for Sustainable Development
IISD Experimental Lakes Area is one of the most influential freshwater research facilities on Earth, the only place in the world where scientists can manipulate real lakes to understand what human activity does to fresh water. IISD's research operations require efficient and secure storage of historical and newly acquired datasets in the cloud, and careful integration of new datasets with IISD's existing relational database design. IISD is also engaged in machine learning projects, which need to be configured and maintained to run in the cloud.
IISD has partnered with Strato Earth to provide cloud infrastructure and database support for the Experimental Lakes Area project. Utilizing our existing infrastructure-as-code libraries and extensive expertise in Amazon Web Services, Strato Earth is providing ongoing support to IISD with a particular focus on implementation and audit of cloud security standards and configurations, PostgreSQL database design and administration, and cloud resource configuration for machine learning processes.
