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.

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 (ARC, SLURM, Apache, django, etc) and is currently being integrated.
