The cloud can help us achieve

More flexibility and agility

- Deliver more and better services at a faster pace

- Quick and flexible adaptation of new features, techniques

- Give users choice- Easy collaboration across borders of institutions and nations

Cost reductions ... or at least managing costs

- Pay per use

- More OPEX, less CAPEX

Contributes to green and sustainability efforts

Postion Paper Cloud: Into the cloud with SURF

http://www.surf.nl/cloud


22/61

Beliefs: Cloud first

Provide IT services as much as possible

via the public cloud.

When the required services are not

available,

or when they cannot be used due to legal

considerations,

community cloud services (specificallytailored to the needs of higher education)

will be implemented.


23/61

Beliefs: user choice, users in control

Give end users freedom of choice;

let them choose which services

they use (consumerization)

Institute provides choice

between multiple cloud vendors

and cloud services

User centric approachmulti-vendor

multi-service

Project Orchestrating the Cloud: i-Strategy

What are the major strategic challenges for education,

research and underlying secondary processes?

What cloud solutions can help us answering these

challenges?

Which actions should we take collaboratively? Where is

acting alone or in small coalitions better?
