Virtualization allows us to take a group of underutilized, task-specific computers and meld them into "the cloud," where they share tasks, resources, cost, and management. The result is a more robust, efficient, and flexible environment that can provide better service. Why not apply this model to the student workforce as well? This presentation will cover taking a number of specialized workforces and combining them to optimize effectiveness and reduce cost in order to provide more robust services to clients. We will cover how cloud staffing for one IT subdivision has proven to be as effective as cloud computing for the Internet.
