Free Cloud trial for universities

Education cloud pilot

9 February 2012

Academic institutions can take advantage of a 2 month free trial of our Education Cloud. The free trial is helping institutions establish the benefits and use-cases cloud can provide for their organisation.

More than 20 organisations are already using the Education Cloud. This includes UMF-funded SaaS projects and institutions piloting IaaS as additional capacity, back-up to core services or development environments.

The free trial provides institutions with a Virtual Data Centre. The Virtual Data Centre model reserves an agreed amount of resource which is guaranteed for the customer. Beyond the reserved resource organisations can pay for what they use on a Pay as You Go model. The trial is for a small Virtual Data Centre, which reserves 20GHz CPU, 40GB memory and 4TB storage.

If your university would like a free trial of the Education Cloud please email cloud@eduserv.org.uk and we'll be in touch to set up your trial.
