Abstract(in English) In a lot of scientific fields, most of the data are digitized and processed on computers and networks. The data files are getting larger in size and numbers. Science clouds, which are equipped with both flexibility and specialty applicable for countless scientific studies, are called upon to play important roles as an infrastructure of big-data sciences and inter-disciplinary studies. The NICT Science Cloud is designed to work with functions of data crawling and transfer, data preservation and management, and data processing and visualization. We have developed applications, tools, systems and services designed for these three functions (especially for Earth and space environmental sciences) installed on the NICT Science Cloud. By applying these functions to each science project, researchers are able to advance their studies. In this paper, we introduce the NICT Science Cloud and report our 2-years operations of the cloud system based on several fact data. Especially discussions will focusing on data preservation, data stewardship, data provison and data dissemination.
