IaaS with NET+: Campus Experiences with Deploying Cloud Infrastructure

Replacing hardware with on-demand services is a key appeal of moving to the cloud, but it presents technical, legal, and compliance challenges. In this panel, we will address the risks, challenges, and potential pitfalls of cloud-based infrastructure services, as well as the means to overcome them developed through the Internet2 NET+ program.

OUTCOMES: Understand the key issues to consider in evaluating infrastructure services in the cloud * Learn proven approaches to determine whether it makes sense to keep hardware in the data center, move to the cloud, or develop hybrid strategies that include both * Find out more about how to participate in evaluating and deploying services with peers through the "community cloud" process of the Internet2 NET+ program
