European academic research and science is at the forefront of solving global challenges at a rapidly increasing rate and is dominated by exponentially growing data. Researchers are overcoming the challenges of scale, collaboration, and compliance, while minimising cost and complexity, by using Microsoft Azure to achieve unmatched time to insight, scale, and price-performance on the cloud built for high performance computing, data, and analytics.
University’s central technical infrastructure requirements are increasingly complex with thousands of applications and services and a diverse infrastructure. Microsoft Azure provides a secure, scalable cloud infrastructure that will run your mission-critical applications with increased operational agility and security.
Using Microsoft Azure’s high-performance computing, data and analytics – procured through the Open Clouds for Research Environments (OCRE) framework – institutions can accelerate
tender award processes and overcome the challenges of scale, collaboration and compliance while minimising cost and complexity.
