1. Jisc and the cloudThe University of the West of London moved its 14,000 students to Office365, and observes that once a student graduates they can maintain that Office365 account through the University for life. We can continue to supply them with information about the University, help them find their second job, their third job and so on. This isnt just about collaboration while studying, its about creating a life-long connection between the students and the University.

1. Jisc and the cloudThe University of Dundee migrated all of its 22,000 student accounts to Microsofts Office365 for Education service over a week. They note that this was achieved with zero down time, and estimate that Office365 will save us at least 500,000 in infrastructure and staffing over five years.

2. Blockers and enablers

2. Blockers and enablersJiscs summer 2015 cloud surveyof chief information officers (CIOs) and directors of IT found that there are still a number of barriers to widespread adoption:

29% of the CIOs responding to our survey told us they hadno plans to use public cloud to support researchat their institutions31% indicated they werereluctant to move business systems to the cloud61% of respondents saidfinancial aspects of cloud computingwere a major concern2/03/2016Unlocking the potential of cloud in research and education

2. Blockers and enablersMixture of actual and perceived cost issues around public cloud. For example, many public cloud providers charge users to download their data, so-called egress chargingBecause cloud resources are typically offered on a pay-as-you-go basis, careful planning and cost modelling is required to ensure that workloads run within their allocated budgets hence we sometimes hear apocryphal tales of postdocs maxing out their supervisors credit card balance over a weekendThink tank findings:2/03/2016Unlocking the potential of cloud in research and educationhttp://bit.ly/Jisc_helpinginstitutions


2. Blockers and enablersJiscs portal onto Amazon Web Servicesprovides tools to assist institutions in monitoring and planning for their use of cloud resources. This was felt to be a useful development that could be built on furtherA consistent cross council approach to bidding for cloud resources for research would be very welcome. This is something that wewill be exploring with the newly formed Research Councils UK (RCUK) Cloud Working GroupThink tank findings:2/03/2016Unlocking the potential of cloud in research and educationhttp://bit.ly/Jisc_helpinginstitutions


2. Blockers and enablersRaise awareness of clouds shared responsibility model which gives responsibilities to both the provider and the userIT departments can help the institution to exploit cloud in a myriad of ways, e.g. manage encryption keys, install and maintain software and firewall settings for cloud server instancesNew UK data centres recently announced byAmazonandMicrosoftshow that public cloud providers are responding to data sovereignty and jurisdiction issuesThink tank findings:2/03/2016Unlocking the potential of cloud in research and educationhttp://bit.ly/Jisc_helpinginstitutions


2. Blockers and enablersWhat will an IT departments staff profile look like in five to ten years? e.g. reallocation of staff hours currently devoted to managing hardware and packaging and distributing softwareMoving to the cloud creates huge opportunities for the IT department to become a true business partner and enabler for institutions key activities in teaching, learning and researchDelegates also felt that there was significant potential for additional Jisc brokerage activity around cloud products and servicesThink tank findings:2/03/2016Unlocking the potential of cloud in research and educationhttp://bit.ly/Jisc_helpinginstitutions


2. Blockers and enablersThree big ideas in our future of cloud report:

Cloud as a utilityApp as a serviceBuilding capability

2. Blockers and enablersOur key recommendation is that Jisc should work with the sector and public cloud providers to make it easier for institutions to switch between cloud providers and to migrate workloads between the public and private clouds leveraging public investment in the Janet network.Cloud as a utility2/03/2016Unlocking the potential of cloud in research and education

2. Blockers and enablersSmartphones and tablets have established a culture of package once, install a billion times, but our colleges and universities still commonly package common applications separately and independently for distribution to users. This is inefficient and it diverts highly skilled IT staff from activities that could genuinely add value.App as a service


See blog.martinh.net/2011/11/post-pc-manifesto.html

2. Blockers and enablersIt is clear from theresults of the Jisc cloud survey http://bit.ly/jisc-cloudsurveythat practice with established cloud technologies is still quite variable. We believe that there is a need to come together to share our experiences of what works, building capability at institutions and identifying areas where further intervention would be helpful.Building capability
