Academic Computing Services Amsterdam (SARA): Centre of expertise in the 
field of computers and networking. Offers a complete package of 
high-performance computing and infrastructure services, based on 
state-of-the-art information technology (IT). Supports scientists with 
complex large-scale computations and visualisations thus constituting an 
important link in research breaking new grounds. Offers additionally 
numerous services in the area of networking, databases, and facility 
management. Evolved from an university environment with customers from 
the Amsterdam Universities (UvA and VU) as well as from the other 
universities and research institutes in the Netherlands, SARA is now 
increasingly adopting a marked-oriented attitude. Therefore a new 
organisational form has been chosen: clusters each having their own 
portfolio of services and that can take advantage of new needs from 
customers in a flexible way. Integral management is the basis of this 
new approach.
