Cloud usage, cloud services and software
Cloud expenses (costs for experiments on AWS, GCP, …), cloud services and licenses, from which doctoral research projects benefit, can be funded by the DoCS.
u:cloud offers all employees and students of the University of Vienna storage space for their data in the “cloud”. The storage space amounts to 50 GB. You can access the data from any device and from anywhere. It is particularly useful for temporary storage and for sharing data easily. For collaboration in projects, working groups or teams, the ZID recommends using u:cloud pro. Read more here.
