+## What is the Helmholtz Cloud?
+{:.text-success}
+Our purpose is to support scientific work from all domains and research centers. 
+To this aim, since summer 2019, we are setting up the Helmholtz Cloud, providing a portfolio of seamlessly accessible IT services.
+The upcoming Helmholtz Cloud will initially consist of approximately 20 of 25 services.
+
+#### How can I access it? And when?
+It is the purpose of HIFIS to allow a common, harmonized access to Helmholtz Cloud services via 
+a single portal -- the Cloud Access Layer --
+and Single-Sign-On (SSO). 
+The initial set of services as well as the first version of the access layer is scheduled to be available by the end of 2020.
+
+[**Have a look at our roadmap!**](roadmap)
+
+#### What are the plans for the Cloud Access Layer?
+The initial version of the Cloud Access Layer is planned to be kept simple while at the same time incorporating one of the most important features, the single-sign on (SSO) functionality. 
+Further functionality of the first version includes
+* List of services
+* Detailed view for services
+* Possibility to access a service via a link
+* Indication of service status
+
+Later versions will contain more enhanced features like
+* Personal workspace with overview about the personal set of services
+* Possibility to request more specific setup of services
+* Creation of meta services, e.g. combination of JupyterLab with HPC resources and a storage service
+
+If you have suggestions about additional use cases and functionality, please feel free to contact us. We appreciate all input from the user community!
