How to request access

Via a form on 🔒ServiceNow, go to: IT > My work field > Research > SciCloud > Order SciCloud capacity

After you have requested a SciCloud virtual server, IT for Research will schedule an interview to discuss your wishes.

The Quick Start page explains how to access the server once it is online.

Are there costs involved?

Configurations of a virtual server are based on standard “Building Blocks”, combinations of the following two options can be purchased:

• Building Block 1: 1 CPU core with 2 GB RAM

• Building Block 2: 1 CPU core with 4 GB RAM

Costs are calculated as: €1 per CPU per month, €1 per GB memory per month, €0.40 per GB storage per year (minimum 20GB).
