  1. Cloud Seeding The Story Behind UW's Cloud Computing Initiative Terry Gray,PhD Associate VP, Technology Strategy UW Technology

  2. UW meets the Cloud

  3. Cloud Apps @ UW 60% of students ALREADY forward their UW email 64K UW users

  4. Infrastructure As A Service

  5. A Tale of Two Clouds http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/stevecla01/WindowsLiveWriter/MicrosoftGoogleandCloudWars_ACE7/03cloud_xlarge1_thumb.jpg

  9. Cloud Ancestry Mainframe Service Bureau Web Technology Free TV Personalization

  10. Cloud Currencycloud concepts are old -except the biz model http://www.library.drexel.edu/blogs/librarylog/dollars.gif http://www.cksinfo.com/clipart/people/bodyparts/eyes/eyeballs.png http://thomaslarock.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/datamining.jpg

  11. Natural EvolutionWho ya gonna call (for commodity IT)? Cloud In the beginning... Central Departmental Individual Goodbye “IT priesthood”... Hello “Consumer Computing”

  12. Cloud Partnership Motivations Support campus technology needs/desires Enhance the cloud services Improve regulatory compliance Eventual reallocation of IT resources IT Goal: any time/place/device access & collaboration

  13. Leadership Consensus UW should encourage use of cloud services, consistent with compliance obligations UW risk is reduced by executing partner contracts and encouraging their use UW should proceed with a dual-vendor strategy for collaborative applications Include faculty, staff and students, in order to maximize collaboration

  14. Launching Todayfor students & alumni New options for email & collaboration Partnership with Microsoft & Google FERPA privacy protections Use UW email address Lots of storage; Ad-free; UW branding UW NetID integration Sign up now! uw.edu/googleapps uw.edu/windowslive cf. CSE Dept

  15. Impact on UA Services Student Tech Fee Committee decision UA services for students have been de-funded Thus, they will migrate to cloud soon... Email No new student Deskmail accounts as of Jan 2010 Phase out of student email servers later in 2010 Students may continue to use consumer acctsor UW – provided MS and Google accts Web publishing, etc Roadmap will be developed during Fall quarter

  16. Platform MigrationStarting Sept 2009 PAST FUTURE Personal Cloud Services Personal Cloud Services 40K 40K Dedicated Exchange Dedicated Exchange 5K 10K Premium Cloud Deskmail (Uniform Access) 50K 10K Free Cloud MyUW.net (Alumni Email) 40K ++ 5K New Alums
