GÉANT is delighted to announce that the OCRE 2024 Framework, the third iteration of GÉANT’s flagship cloud frameworks, officially starts today, 3 February 2025, and will be in place for a period of five years. Resulting from a pan-European procurement established under the GÉANT (GN5-1) Project and building on the successes of the previous frameworks, the OCRE 2024 Framework will enable tens of thousands of European Research and Education (R&E) institutions and public institutions across 39 countries to procure innovative cloud services in an easy, compliant, and cost-effective way.
The OCRE 2024 Framework delivers an impressive portfolio of 416 cloud service offerings across 17 cloud platforms for IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service), and SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) solutions, based on 416 agreements between GÉANT and 40 service providers.
