IaaS+ Tender & Cloud Funding for Research: Announcement Report
Year: 2020
Type: report
Abstract: The Open Clouds for Research Environments project (OCRE), aims to accelerate cloud adoption in the European research community, by bringing together cloud providers, Earth observation (EO) organisations and the research and education community, through ready-to-use service agreements and €9.5 million in adoption funding. Key to this are the tenders that will be published by OCRE. This OCRE Announcement Report is divided in three parts to summarise the community requirements that came out of OCRE’s requirements gathering activities, and to communicate the OCRE IaaS+ Tender and the OCRE Cloud Funding for Research. The OCRE IaaS+ Tender part is compiled primarily from Volume 0 of the OCRE IaaS+ Tender documentation and communicates the IaaS+ Tender launched by the OCRE project and executed by GÉANT, as the coordinator of OCRE. The official announcement and link to the texts of the OCRE IaaS+ Tender can be found at this link at the eProcurement Portal: https://bit.ly/IaaS-plus_CLOUDtender This Official Journal of the EU (OJEU) notice has also been published and can be accessed in this link: https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:176523- 2020:TEXT:EN:HTML&tabId=1 The OCRE Cloud Funding for Research part focuses on the adoption funding opportunity provided by OCRE for research projects to use on resulting services from the OCRE IaaS+ Tender. It identifies the high-level criteria for selection and how interested research institutions can keep informed on developments as they are communicated.
