Take advantage of your opportunity to obtain comprehensive
cloud solutions without a tendering process.

Open Clouds for Research Environments (OCRE) is a pan-European framework agreement that aims to bridge the gap between research and educational institutions and selected cloud service providers. Bechtle has won the framework agreement for the second time in 2025, together with IONOS. Research and educational institutions therefore have the opportunity to purchase cloud solutions from IONOS via Bechtle – and at a particularly attractive price-performance ratio. The advantage: as a German company, IONOS offers 100% GDPR compliance as well as digital sovereignty.

In our webinar, we explain how you can make the best use of OCRE for your project and thus get into the cloud quickly and easily.
