Exiting a long-term campus data center and moving many services used by wide-ranging stakeholders bring many challenges. Hear how UC Berkeley is reimagining its data center, moving from a one-size-fits-all campus data center to a three-pillar model that meets the data and computing needs of a modern research university—all while ensuring the satisfaction of their end users. They will review the strategies used to re-think the Datacenter @ Berkeley, set stakeholder expectations, and begin the transition journey from on-prem to the "right-tool-for-the-job" approach to infrastructure.
