What expectations do European public research sector have in regards to CSPs? Article on Cloud28+

As part of its mandate, PICSE recently published the report “Procuring cloud services today”
 
The report describes the experience of 10 European public sector organisations that have carried out or are considering a cloud procurement process. The experiences vary in terms of success and offer insights into how the procurement of cloud services is impacting on their current processes, how they overcame a set of barriers but it also tells us what expectations public sector organisations have in regards to cloud service providers (CSPs).

Open Day event: Towards a European Open Science Cloud. Article in the July issue of the INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH newsletter

Over 80 experts from European research organisations, public & private commercial cloud service providers gathered at CERN on 26 June 2015 for the Helix Nebula Initiative (HNI) and PICSE Open Day event: Towards a European Open Science Cloud, which demonstrated why and how Europe can enable digital science by introducing IT as a Service for its public research community. Rolf Heuer, Director General of CERN, indicated that the Open Science Cloud is driven by a hybrid model comprising public research organisations, e-Infrastructures and commercial suppliers to build a common platform with a range of services for Europe’s research communities. Currently in its fourth year
of activity, HNI...
