The advantages of using a commercial service "cloud" |
Written by Ixchel Pérez |
"Deploying their own cloud or commercial use? That's one of the big questions that arise in the present research and development organizations. The International Conference "Emerging Standards for the Educational Cloud and Importance to IPv6 will give a light on this issue and demonstrate how the second option is the best, on 16 February in Utrecht.
Today, many R & E organizations are wrestling with issue of clouds in terms of adoption and deployment of clouds and struggling with the dilemma of whether it is better to create their own infrastructure or use a commercial service. Entities recognized as the cloud can be helpful for the implementation of educational applications and the development of research, but do not know which way to go.
The expert is convinced that going commercial is the best way for several reasons. First, the tag market is intensely competitive and innovative economies of scale can make a big difference in terms of accessibility and reliability. Second, the tag will enable more rapid adoption of IPv6 in universities and educational institutions. To date, R & E institutions are not exactly at the forefront of this issue, but to move the e-mail, web services and applications providers clouds that support IPv6 can help them this way is much easier.
