Cloud services via OCRE 2024 Framework

European scientists, researchers, and professionals in educational, public, and non-profit organizations across 39 countries can now procure cloud services via the OCRE2024 Framework without undergoing a cumbersome public tendering process.

OCRE 2024 is an EU-compliant cloud procurement framework administered by GÉANT , the collaboration of European National Research and Education Networks (NRENs). It aims to improve access to innovative commercial cloud services for research and education institutions across Europe.

CloudFerro is a qualified provider of cloud services via this framework, offering comprehensive sovereign European cloud computing services, which include virtual machines, dedicated servers, GPU support, Kubernetes, and vast storage and data sharing capabilities. All these services are built on open-source technology. Users also benefit from seamless access to the robust GÉANT network. As the operator of CREODIAS, CloudFerro also gives users unlimited access to a repository of over 80 petabytes of Copernicus Earth observation data.
