How institutions in France access OCRE cloud

Institutions in France access the OCRE 2024 framework through RENATER, their National Research and Education Network (NREN). VSHN is the sole Exoscale reseller in the OCRE catalogue and ranked number one in all countries it serves. Institutions can use the cascade method (direct award) to place an order without a competition round.

Exoscale datacenter closest to France: Geneva (CH-GVA-2). Guaranteed data location, no US CLOUD Act exposure. All data egress to GÉANT and connected NRENs is waived.
