Cloud Research program
Mandated by the French government, the PEPR Cloud (Priority Research Projects and Equipment), aims to contribute to the advancement of Cloud technologies. It is aligned with the national strategy to develop secure, sovereign Cloud offerings, and with European initiatives to strengthen digital sovereignty in general.
PEPR has been structured around a program overseen by strategic, scientific and management committees, emphasizing collaboration and contributions to technological innovation. It is managed by an operational directorate.

Focus on
Science
On the scientific front, PEPR focuses on the development of secure, interoperable hybrid clouds, new solutions for processing large volumes of data, and distributed solutions based on edge computing. Research areas include hardware aspects, infrastructure and application lifecycle management, security and energy consumption control. It also emphasizes the need for an experimental infrastructure facilitating in-depth studies of the various software layers, to complement existing research Clouds.
