The Canadian Advanced Network For Astronomical Research (CANFAR) is an operational system for the delivery, processing, storage, analysis, and distribution of very large astronomical data sets. CANFAR is a cyber-infrastructure combining research network, grid processing and storage resources and a data centre, into a unified storage and processing system. For processing, the project has combined features of the grid and cloud processing models by providing a self-configuring virtual cluster deployed on multiple cloud clusters. The CANFAR processing service makes use of many technologies from the grid, cloud and Virtual Observatory communities. Here we describe the different CANFAR components and how it lets groups of astronomers to easily deploy multiple data reduction pipelines. We also show a few examples of the applications on large archived data sets from the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre.
