In a groundbreaking partnership, AMS-IX, alongside Info Support, i3D.net, BIT, and TNO, is proud to unveil the "European Cloud Services in an Open Federated Ecosystem" (ECOFED) project. Backed by the Dutch government and endorsed by the European Commission, ECOFED is a testament to AMS-IX's commitment to reshaping the landscape of cloud services in Europe.
Scheduled to run from 2024 to 2027, ECOFED is embarking on an ambitious journey, emphasising cross-border collaboration with esteemed European partners. The consortium's primary objective is establishing the technical foundation for an open and federative cloud ecosystem. This pioneering model facilitates the exchange of various services among integrators and infrastructure providers, eliminating the need for a central platform.
In parallel, ECOFED strategically leverages the robust expertise of the Dutch sector. The initiative aims to support companies transitioning from closed hyperscale cloud platforms to a federative ecosystem. The European funding award is a crucial step towards shaping the future of cloud infrastructure.
