In the Compute Cloud (CC), computing resources and storage, among other things, can be used as a self-service model. It is comparable to AWS or Microsoft Azure but as a private cloud for FAU. Every student and employee is entitled to a free quota.
If you need more than the free quota or a group of people need access to a project, please contact us.
Status information about the cloud can be found here.
CC is certified to promote the open and standardised use of clouds based on SCS.
