Seamlessly integrated with Flood Modeller, Flood Cloud is an innovative service that enables you to run your model simulations in the cloud. It empowers users to run compute-intensive simulations faster, at greater scale, and more cost effectively than ever before.
When speed matters
Accelerate the running of simulations and get results fast. Our pay as you go service enables you to instantly access unlimited computing resources, delivering the step change needed for better analysis and design.

Automation is key
An automated solution that manages the entire process at the click of a button. From uploading the data at the start of your project to downloading the results at the end, Flood Cloud manages the entire process.
For greater analysis
Undertake greater analysis, enabling improved calibration, and a better understanding of uncertainty. It allows more options to be assessed, enabling better design and more effective flood defences.
Until recently the required outputs from flood modelling were typically selected water levels and flood extents from a handful of simulations. Now, a much richer set of results are required, perhaps covering ten or more annual exceedance probabilities, with various climate change scenarios and a range of flood management options. This, together with the move towards detailed 2D modelling, has resulted in a step change in the computational resources needed to undertake flood modelling.
​
Flood Cloud provides the solution by providing an infinitely scalable resource pool of on-demand processors and software licences. Once you have set up your model locally, you can send it for processing on high performance hardware in the cloud directly from within Flood Cloud. If your simulations are grouped together you can instantly start all of these runs concurrently on dedicated machines.
Run a model with multiple parameters to better understand uncertainty, whilst improving confidence and model suitability, or improve calibration through greater exploration of parameter values.
Flood Cloud allows you to run multiple design options to help you optimise design parameters or scale up your processing power and move from deterministic event-based analysis to probabilistic analysis and continuous simulation.
