Cloud Computing in Higher Education
Changing the Way We Provide Systems
DEFINING SYSTEMS AND THEIR PROBLEMS
What is a system? What are the problems we face with them?
Describing a System
Problems with Systems
• Basic Assumptions When Creating Systems• Number of users• Amount of storage• Supporting requirements• Amount of compute power
• Issues Faced with Maintaining Systems• Cost of updating systems• Scaling systems

– While Clouderati itself doesn’t tweet about the cloud, it does provide a number of lists of persons that tweet about the cloud. While many of these folks are in the business space, they provide a lot of information about the cloud.
• EDUCAUSE Cloud Computing Resources– Resources from education on cloud computing, including publications,
presentation, podcasts, etc.• Attend CloudCamp
– CloudCamp is an unconference held throughout the world (and even virtually). It’s a great place to go, meet people who are also interested in the cloud, and learn a few new things.
