OCRE Cloud for Research

UCD Researchers can use cloud infrastructure to advance their research. The benefits of cloud include flexibility, scalability, speed of deployment and paying for just what you need.

HEAnet have partnered on a pan-European collaboration with GÉANT to put in place the OCRE procurement framework for public cloud which you can use. This will save you time, money and give you peace of mind while using this procurement framework. See details below.

You can try out some vendor clouds and see if their system is a fit for you. See some examples below or search the internet for your cloud of choice.
