CyVerse offers researchers diverse compute, storage, and event-based workflow options. Data and associated metadata are uploaded and managed in an iRODS Data Store, accessible through various transfer protocols. CyVerse delivers moderate computing power for analytical research via its Discovery Environment data science workbench and connects to public and commercial cloud through the Cloud Automation and Continuous Analysis Orchestration (CACAO) platform. Researchers can register and activate workflows in CyVerse using event-based triggers through the Data Watch API.

CyVerse software technology and cyberinfrastructure hardware components form a “layer cake” with hardware supporting services and software products. In general, the top layer is easiest to use but least flexible, while the bottom layers have the most power and utility but are least user-friendly.
