## About Merlin7
The Merlin7 cluster is moving toward **production** state since August 2024, this is expected latest by Q4 2025. Since January 2025 the system has been generally available,
but due to some remaining issues with the platform, the schedule of the migration of users and communities has been delayed. You will be notified well in advance
regarding the migration of data.
PSI's Merlin7 cluster is run on top of an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) *vCluster* on the [CSCS Alps infrastructure](https://www.cscs.ch/computers/alps). It is fully integrated with the PSI service landscape was designed to provide the same end user experience as its PSI-local predecessor clusters.
Merlin7 has been in **production** since beginning of June 2025.
