OCRE: Open Clouds for Research Environments The OCRE consortium combines the expertise of four partners to enable access and drive the adoption and use of commercial cloud services by the European research community. After gathering user requirements, OCRE will manage the adoption of funds and buy resources from the selected suppliers (OCRE will act as customer) and make cloud resources available to institutions. Such a delivery vehicle is effective and efficient for the supply as well as the demand side. Service adoption is the key focus of this work. A legal and technical mechanism will be created to integrate a range of these commercial services into the EOSC hub in order to make them more easily available to researchers. |
