Nuvolos.cloud

Alphacruncher is an Edtech startup on a mission to deliver cutting-edge technology solutions to the education and academic sectors. Our product, Nuvolos, creates novel and simplified workflows in digital teaching and research. Nuvolos is an online self-service platform for blended education (online and onsite) and quantitative scientific research.  It provides an innovative browser-based platform for educators, students, and researchers that dramatically improves education efficiency and boosts reproducibility and scalability of research in data and computationally intensive fields. Throughout the current pandemic situation, Nuvolos has offered a solution to many of the challenges and requirements that emerged in the context of remote education.

Key features and benefits:

• Nuvolos enables new forms of digital teaching by making it possible to distribute and synchronize complete digital teaching environments (material, software, data) and through immersive collaboration possibilities among users. 
• Nuvolos improves equal opportunity in digital education. Students only need an internet connection and web browser to access the same computational and data storage resources.
• Nuvolos provides a browser-based elastic computational and storage environment for quantitative work. Researchers can scale their data storage and computation resources vertically, while educational environments can scale horizontally.
• Nuvolos provides access to familiar software (e.g. Rstudio, JupyterLab) and storage technologies (e.g. Dropbox), thus making it instantaneous to get started with scaleable research.
• Nuvolos significantly improves the reproducibility of research by providing a snapshot feature that encapsulates code, data and software.
