OCRE (Open Clouds for Research Environments) has replaced the GÉANT IaaS Cloud Framework Agreement with the aim to accelerate cloud adoption in the European research community.

Researchers around the world are using Microsoft Azure to enable them to accelerate their research. Microsoft Azure provides an open, flexible, global platform that supports multiple programming languages, tools, and frameworks allowing researchers to achieve faster results and achieve more using the cloud.

SoftwareOne has been awarded the OCRE Azure cloud agreement which gives Universities and Research institutes commercial discounts and additional benefits.

This webinar will outline what those benefits are, how to access them plus the additional value the education community across 32 European countries can gain from SoftwareOne, including access to PyraCloud. This provides organisations with the benefits of a FinOps Certified platform that helps them manage budget and cloud spend in a multi-cloud environment.
