Bringing open, user-centric cloud infrastructure to research communities

 “Thousands of scientists are toiling away in labs across Europe. Their work helps save lives or makes life easier, more productive or more comfortable.

Being rolled out by the VENUS-C * project, the infrastructure marks a pioneering attempt to implement a user-centric approach to the cloud, putting the needs of end-user communities - such as researchers and SMEs - at the forefront of development, and providing scalable and interoperable cloud resources that combine both open source and commercial solutions to offer the best of both worlds.“ Read more at http://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=OFFR_TM_EN&ACTION=D&DOC=2&CAT=OFFR&QUERY=
