2. Our three big ideas


»Three big ideas in our future of cloud report:

»Cloud as a utility»App as a service»Building capability

»Read the report: http://bit.ly/jisccloudfutures

“Our 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 utility

2/03/2016


“Smartphones 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

“It is clear from the results of the Jisc cloud survey http://bit.ly/jisc-cloudsurvey that 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.”
