The cloud based university

I have set up a program for a small lunch to lunch conference in Stockholm with the theme The cloud based university. The venue is Stockholm university and the target audience is CIOs and IT architects from Swedish universities.

We will have a program that combines a more internal discussion with different presentations and perspectives from different vendors.

Amongst the speaker we have Per Sedihn from Proact. He will talk about SNIA (www.snia.org)  and Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI, http://www.snia-europe.org/en/technology-topics/cloud-storage/index.cfm). I also hope Per will have time to cover some of the new interesting products coming to the market, like Cloud storage gateways.

Microsoft will also present both Windows Azure and Office 365.

Wmware will talk about their experiences in the cloud area. I guess we can have an interesting discussion about private vs public clouds.

We will also talk about the cloud ramifications for the network infrastructure and listen to Cisco talking about the cloud and their talk on that.

These two days will focus on technical possibilities. A future seminar will investigate legal and policy questions that arise when using cloud services.
