GÉANT Cloud Services
Supporting cloud collaboration in the research and education community.
Cloud services empower users to select and use the services they really want, in an easy and often economically attractive manner. Research and education organisations can become more agile, facilitating dynamic collaborations between teams and across borders.
Supporting NRENs
GÉANT is actively helping national research and education networking organisations (NRENs) to deliver cloud services to their communities, with the right conditions of use. It is also engaging with existing NREN brokerages to promote an efficient and coordinated pan-European approach, by building on existing experience and supplier relationships.
The goal is to acquire and manage the delivery of services from providers to the pan-European GÉANT community. These parties can be commercial vendors as well as NRENs, and other research and education communities. The goal is an attractive, well-balanced portfolio of cloud services published in the online GÉANT Cloud Catalogue, an informative list of cloud providers.
Cloud Services
The GÉANT Cloud Services team has developed a website to support the use and increased uptake of cloud services in the research and education community.
