evin. U Office of the Chief Information Officer Outline • Key Technologies Are Maturing • Research Computing Going Mainstream: CASE STUDIES • Paying Attention to What Matters

evin. U Office of the Chief Information Officer Big questions as we (re)think institutional support and investment and identify what really matters… • What does it take to make large-scale computing successful—beyond and including IT infrastructure? • What does it take to enable global research? • How do we help faculty engage students in the exercise?

evin. U Office of the Chief Information Officer Big data can be (almost) anywhere…. The key is access. • Much big data is on government sites. • Consortia share big data on cloud systems. • Access to key data requires infrastructure and security. • Effective access requires advanced software: • Manipulate, “slice and dice, ” analyze. • Don’t simply download.

evin. U Office of the Chief Information Officer The Conditions Are Ripe for Disruptive Change— Cloud Computing as Part of a Global Infrastructure • Entry Costs Drop for HPC / Big Data Users • Scale and Power Expand Quickly • A Hierarchical, Scalable Model Makes Sense for Academia Campus Community Vendor New Hierarchical, Integrated Ecosystem: Departmental Institutional Community Cloud Vendor Cloud
