Building an Academic Cloud for 500,000 Users

Under the brand name ���sciebo ��� the Campuscloud��� (derived from ���science box���) a consortium of more than 20 research and applied science universities started a large scale cloud service for about 500,000 students and researchers in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany���s most populous state.
