The Fido project aims to provide web hosting and computation services for Swedish bioinformatic research, partly to facilitate bioinformatics, but primarily to promote and increase exposure for Swedish research by providing a safe, reliable and secure web portal interface. The focus is on security, modularity, scalability and ease of adding new functionality. The Fido platform is now open for public access. The first publicly accessible Fido service was a BLAST service for sequences from the Datisca glomerata nodule transcriptome project, and is available here.
Hardware for a minimal scalable cluster resource is procured and installed (one system server, one front end server, and two worker servers). Server software has been installed and integrated (ARC, SLURM, Apache, django, etc), and the system is being populated with new services.
