About nrec.no
NREC (Norwegian Research and Education Cloud, formerly UH-IaaS) is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service cloud. It offers self-service compute, block and object storage, DNS and HPC on dedicated hardware, managed through a web dashboard, a command-line interface or a REST API. The platform is built on OpenStack and the Ceph-based object storage.
Users are staff and students at eligible educational institutions in Norway, who sign in with a FEIDE account. The service is run as a collaboration project between the University of Bergen and the University of Oslo, with contributions from NeIC and Uninett. It is provided as a community cloud rather than a commercial offering.
The service has been in production since 2016. Its data centres are located in Bergen and Oslo, and its hardware is on-premise. Current projects include CERN's ALICE and ATLAS experiments. Support is available in Norwegian and English, and service status is published on a public status dashboard.
Product: Self-service IaaS cloud with compute, block and object storage, DNS, networking and HPC, built on OpenStack.
