# Bianca | ||
|
||
Bianca is one of the [UPPMAX clusters](uppmax_cluster.md). | ||
|
||
Here we describe [Bianca's name](#bianca's-name) | ||
and [Bianca's design](#bianca's-design). | ||
|
||
!!! info "[Go to the Bianca portal](bianca_portal.md)" | ||
|
||
[The Bianca portal](bianca_portal.md) | ||
is the starting page on using Bianca. | ||
|
||
## Bianca's name | ||
|
||
Bianca, like all [UPPMAX clusters](uppmax_cluster.md), | ||
is named after a Tintin character, | ||
in this case after Bianca Castafiore. | ||
|
||
![Bianca Castafiore, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bianca_Castafiore-Tintin_comics_series.png](./img/bianca_castafiore_192_x_226.png) | ||
|
||
???- question "What are the UPPMAX clusters?" | ||
|
||
All UPPMAX clusters can be found [here](uppmax_cluster.md). | ||
|
||
## Bianca's design | ||
|
||
Bianca is an high-performance computing (HPC) cluster for sensitive data. | ||
|
||
???- question "What is an HPC cluster for sensitive data?" | ||
|
||
What an HPC cluster for sensitive data is, is described [here](uppmax_cluster.md). | ||
|
||
Or: Bianca is a group of computers that can effectively run many calculations, | ||
as requested by multiple people, at the same time. | ||
As the data is sensitive, it is protected to remain only on Bianca. | ||
|
||
Bianca is designed to: | ||
|
||
- make accidental data leaks difficult | ||
- make correct data management as easy as possible | ||
- emulate the HPC cluster environment that SNIC users were familiar with | ||
- provide a maximum amount of resources | ||
- satisfy regulations | ||
|
||
???- info "The Bianca architecture" | ||
|

||
> Bianca's architecture. | ||
> Red shows the university networks. | ||
> Blue shows the whole cluster, with hundreds of nodes. | ||
> Green shows virtual project clusters. | ||
> Yellow shows where file transfer occurs. | ||
|
||
Bianca's architecture reflects that | ||
she is an HPC cluster for sensitive data: | ||
the whole Bianca cluster has hundreds | ||
of virtual project clusters, | ||
each of which is isolated from each other and the Internet. | ||
File transfer is only possible through the the so-called 'wharf', | ||
which is a special file area that is visible from the Internet. | ||
|
||
!!! info "Bianca has no internet" | ||
|
||
- You *can* log in, but with extra steps | ||
- You *can* transfer files, but with extra steps | ||
- We recommend using the remote desktop login, | ||
see [here](../getting_started/login_bianca.md) | ||
|
||
As Bianca is an HPC cluster that should be as easy to | ||
use as possible, there are two ways to interact with Bianca: | ||
one more visual, the other a command-line environment. | ||
Both environments are shown below. | ||
|
||
As Bianca has sensitive data, there are constraints on how to | ||
access Bianca. | ||
|
||
One such constraint in accessing Bianca, | ||
is that one has to be within the university | ||
networks, as described at [get within the university networks](#get-within-the-university-networks). | ||
|
||
Another such constraint, is that data can be | ||
transferred to or from a virtual project cluster through the so-called 'wharf', | ||
which is a special file area that is visible from the Internet. | ||
File transfer is described in more detail [here](../cluster_guides/transfer_bianca.md). | ||
|
||
Bianca runs the Linux operating system and all users need some | ||
basic Linux knowledge to use Bianca. | ||
|
||
???- tip "Using Linux" | ||
|
||
Using Linux (and especially the so-called command-line/terminal) is essential | ||
to use Bianca. Learning the essential Linux commands | ||
is described [here](../getting_started/linux.md). | ||
[Bianca](bianca.md) is one of the [UPPMAX clusters](uppmax_cluster.md), | ||
suitable for working with sensitive data. | ||
