The selection process for the initial Helmholtz Cloud service portfolio has been successfully completed at October 6th, 2020.
The services proposed by the Helmholtz centres during the service survey in 2019/20 were evaluated according to defined service selection criteria. In order to conduct the evaluation, exclusion as well as evaluation criteria were made up. Afterwards, the services went through three iterations to filter out the most promising services. Each step examined the services in more detail.
At the end of this process, 38 services offered by nine Helmholtz centres were selected. Considering that some services are provided by several centres, the initial service portfolio includes 21 different services.
