Shared Data Centers: Something Old and Something New

Thursday, June 03, 2010 | 10:30AM–11:15AM | International D (6th floor)
Session Type: Professional Development
The idea of sharing a data center within an institution is very common, where various academic, administrative, or research units share the costs of a very specialized facility and its resources. However, with the current push toward cloud computing and utility-based services, these resources can be shared by multiple institutions and organizations, providing a true cost sharing environment akin to a "computing co-op." An example of such a facility within the State of Florida is the Northwest Regional Data Center, which provides services for universities and community/state colleges, as well as state, county, and city governments.
