We offer a variety of financing options. In particular, we are a provider of cloud computing services in OCRE and NoR projects. We cooperate in projects financed by external funds: H2020, Horizon Europe, European Commission projects, business accelerators, ESA, NCBiR, PARP, and others.
Cloud computing services for free thanks to OCRE
Members of the scientific community can use cloud computing services for free on the CREODIAS platform. CloudFerro, the platform operator, is the official service provider for the OCRE project for all European countries.
OCRE - Open Clouds for Research Environments
About project
The OCRE project is part of the European Commission initiative - European Open Science Cloud. OCRE aims to increase the use of cloud services by the European research community by connecting cloud providers to the research and education community. Thanks to funds from the European Commission, OCRE offers financing for research and scientific projects in the form of service credits, which can be used by 10,000 organizations implementing their projects based on cloud solutions. OCRE's overall budget is EUR 9.5 million, including EUR 5 million for cloud computing services and EUR 4.5 million for Earth observation (EO) services.
Members of the Research Community can now benefit from infrastructure-cloud services (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and the adoption of digital Earth Observation (EO) services in scientific and research projects. In particular, OCRE can cover cloud computing services offered on the CREODIAS platform, and in addition, specific services of Earth Observation
CloudFerro as a qualified provider of cloud infrastructure is on the OCRE list in the category "Cloud providers for OCRE".
