CEF Digital promotes the deployment of cross-border and national cloud, edge and HPC infrastructure interconnections to enable distributed, secure, energy-efficient and high-speed cloud services for EU citizens and businesses.

Projects funded under the Cloud Call aim to:

  • Cope with the latest digital and sustainability challenges, in particular:
    • Enable the industrial and low power processing of large amounts of data;
    • Foster a swift and sustainable uptake of emerging technologies;
    • Support the operationalisation of data spaces and specific use cases for socio economic drivers.
  • Respond dynamically to the needs of beneficiaries by providing data processing and storage capacities across the EU.
  • Allow effective access to resources through a high-performance Domain Name Server (DNS) resolution, infrastructure, supporting use cases, conforming to the latest security and privacy standards.

The first-wave projects will focus on the development of cross-border and national cloud infrastructure interconnections at both the physical (i.e. very high capacity networks) and functional levels (i.e. management systems, software-defined infrastructures and DNS resolution) which will ensure distributed, secure, energy-efficient and high-speed connectivity.
