Overview
ISC Cloud Solutions helps IT Service Providers across campus to deploy and run systems in Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and also to assist their faculty and staff in making use of cloud services directly.
Existing cloud provider accounts can be brought into the service quickly and easily, and new accounts can also be created on-demand. The service will handle configuring all accounts to take advantage of the benefits available to Penn community members. To initiate service, please contact ISC Client Care.
