CIOs in the Cloud: How to Become a Cloud-Ready Campus
Thursday, May 01, 2014 | 2:30PM–3:30PM | Harborside Ballroom Foyer
Session Type:
Professional Development
The session will highlight the challenges facing institutions as they seek to implement cloud services with special mention of the Internet2 NET+ initiative and its role in bringing cloud services to higher education. Through Internet2 NET+, higher education CIOs and Internet2 members have worked with cloud vendors to develop service offerings, negotiate pricing and business terms, and develop deployment approaches that are tuned to the higher education community. The session will also cover how institutions—ranging from a community college or liberal arts school to large research institution—can become cloud-ready.
