IaaS can be introduced without impacting higher-level user-facing services that will require a significant software investment. It also represents a strategy with lower risk because the IaaS market is more mature than the PaaS and SaaS markets.’ EIROforum paper IaaS PaaS/SaaS 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 PICSE Procurement model 2021 2022 Use PCP/PPI to grow the EOSC cloud platform in a predictable yet competitive manner

Editor's Notes
- #7: Research organisations from 7 countries have proposed to work together to develop a cross-border joint procurement of innovative cloud services. This is an important change: never before have research organisations across Europe pooled their funds and resources to procure cloud services to support their scientific programmes. eduGAIN federated identity mgmt. should include commercial identity providers taking into account multiple levels of assurance.
