SPEAKER:	PATRICK DREHER  (Renaissance Computing Institute)
 
 
ABSTRACT:
 
Interest in cloud computing has grown significantly over the past few 
years.  This talk focuses on the design and implementation of a cloud 
computing system for a university environment including a live 
demonstration of this system.  Operational data from this cloud computing 
installation that has been in production in North Carolina for the past 5 
years will be presented showing how this architecture can serve both the 
educational and research missions of a university in a very economical and 
cost effective manner.  A discussion of some of the challenges and 
opportunities of expanding this cloud computing architecture across a 
multi-institution environment will also be discussed.
