| Component | User facing? | Component’s role in the capability |
|---|---|---|
| Service Provider IaaS (Cloud) Services | yes | Several XSEDE Service Providers (SPs) offer cloud resources that allow individuals with allocations to use the resource to request virtual machines and related resources (network, storage, etc.). A virtual machine with remote desktop server software installed can then be used as described in this use case. Although an allocation is required to use these resources, some resources offer trial allocations that can be established in 1-2 hours or less. |
