heiCLOUD

The heiCLOUD is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform that is specifically tailored to the needs of higher education institutions and research facilities.

Using a dashboard, researchers can create and manage cloud-based IT resources such as virtual machines, storage, or network components. While buying physical hardware may take up a lot of time and resources, virtual IT infrastructure can be set up with a few clicks, and can be customized to fit the individual needs of a specific research project.

All heiCLOUD data is securely stored at the URZ server rooms and can be accessed through the X-WiN research and education network. heiCLOUD use is either charged by time or by resource consumption.

If you would like to use heiCLOUD, have any questions about the service or would like to get to know the pricing model, please contact the heiCLOUD team via heicloud@uni-heidelberg.de or visit heicloud.uni-heidelberg.de.
