2. Outline Background What is cloud computing? Cloudy Research? State-of-the-art Recommendations

3. Background Overview ◦ Funded by JISC ◦ Managed by University of Southampton ◦ 16/11/2009 – 15/05/2010 ◦ Technical Review of Using Cloud for Research ◦ Associate projects  Review of Using Cloud for Research  Use Cases  Non-technical issues, in particular governance, legal and economic issues)  Review of the Environmental and Organisational Implications of Cloud Computing in Higher and Further Education  current evidence for the environmental costs and benefits of cloud computing  implications of cloud computing for institutional activities outside the research area ◦ Project Site: http://tecires.ecs.soton.ac.ukhttp://tecires.ecs.soton.ac.uk

4. Background Deliverables ◦ JISC management documents  JISC project final report  JISC project completion report  JISC final budget report ◦ TeciRes reports  Interim report (delivered to JISC in Feb.)  TeciRes final report (to be public accessible in the middle of May) ◦ 2 X brief papers  Guidance to researchers for using Cloud (technical only, without economic, ethic and other issues)  Guidance to private/public/hybrid Cloud providers (mainly using open source tools building private cloud and hybrid cloud)
