Cloud and Edge Technologies
We all use the cloud, and the cloud also offers many opportunities for research and education. From distributed computing and storage to enabling AI at the Edge, we investigate new cloud technologies, trends, architectures and solutions.
About cloud and edge technologies
The goal of the program is to explore and investigate how cloud and edge technologies can simplify and improve our members' interaction with diverse systems, interoperability across different platforms and administrative domains. Discover new opportunities, technologies and services - while upholding public values and the principles of data sovereignty.

About the Lab
SURF Lab experiments with new technologies and focuses on innovations for education and research. The focus is on challenges of the future (2-5 years ahead).
The projects in the Lab around Edge-oriented Technologies
Safer cities with smart bikes, edge computing and public clouds
Small edge devices attached to bikes help improve the safety and wellbeing in cities through analysing the surroundings in an autonomous way. Hogeschool van Amsterdam (HvA) runs a Maintenance Lab where several research and development projects in the field of smart industry and smart cities take place. One of them is a Smart Bikes project done in collaboration with Velotech Solutions. SURF has joined the project to lead the design and implementation of the digital infrastructure needed to operate a fleet of bikes in a city remotely, making use of public cloud services.
5G-IoT Lab
In the 5G-IoT Lab, we facilitate research and innovation in Internet of Things. In doing so, we make use of the latest communication technologies, such as 5G.
Techport
In the Techport, we support the development of prediction models for the process industry. We are building a secure cloud infrastructure for this purpose, to collect and share data and support different cloud environments.
Living Lab TU/e-platform
In this project, we develop the 'Living Lab TU/e Platform', a platform for collecting and using data in the Living Lab TU/e. We pay attention to the controlled and safe use of privacy-sensitive data, so that they can be used by researchers.
