Welcome letter

Requirements of IT services are growing. Costs drive to seeking more efficient solutions taking into account the availability requirements. Is your datacenter full, old and energy consuming? Is building new space the only option or could infra as a service be a better solution?

A wide range of cloud services is available. What kind of technology is behind these solutions? What is required to build own cloud? Is it worthwhile to build your own cloud or is joint procurement a better choice? What if the services are outsourced, how to ensure high quality of services? How can energy efficiency be ensured when capacity is obtained as a service? This workshop tries to find answers to the above questions.

The participants are challenged to ask questions from the speakers and discuss with each other to find out the critical areas of datacenter IaaS procurement. If such areas exist.

The workshop is open to anyone and will be held on 11-12.9.2014 in Helsinki, Finland.

 

The intended target audience is the network engineers working with deployment of IT services on campuses and NREN staff involved in datacenter and campus deployments.

The program of the workshop consists of the following themes:

  • Green datacenter technologies
  • Cloud service provisioning
  • Joint procurement, costs and agreements
  • Security and standards
  • Network

Welcome to the workshop!

 

On behalf of the program committee,

Janne Oksanen
