Strategy OARNet (~25%

Resources)l Shared Infrastructure

making Ohio the leader in leveraging cloud computing in higher education

l Hardware platform providing an integrated technology platform for higher education

Merit (~18% Resources)l Increase member affinityl Strategic services, but not strategic differentiators l A clear value otherwise unavailablel Synergistic to deliverl Are more valuable because they run on our network and

thus make our network more valuable

Strategy NCREN (<2% Resources)

l Provide shared services for economies of scalel Broker services from 3rd partiesl Leverage the network where appropriate

WiscNet (<10% Resources)l React to market (peers, industry, members)l Choose best opportunities to experimentl Put successful experiments into production

MAX (<1% Resources)l Economies of scalel High performancel See what happens

Internet2 Open Cloud Demonstration

Projectl Use volume to support “open

standards.”l Leverage existing standards (IdM,

Performance Monitoring)l Shibboleth/InCommonl PerfSonar

Experiment Open to working with Regionals Internet2 looks to be an

aggregator not a provider

Summary Significant minority are moving in this

direction Some top down, some bottom up Approaches are as diverse as regional

structure and business models A real sense we have to do “it”

l But what is “it?”

Parting Thoughts The landscape has

shifted underneath us Cloud computing is part

of that shift Reacting to that shift

requires addressing cloud computing

Can we address it the same way?

How can we help each other?
