Building a "Multi-Landlord" Public Cloud
Peter Desnoyers, Northeastern University
The Massachusetts Open Cloud is a collaboration between five universities, over a dozen industry partners, and the state of Massachusetts to establish a new model of cloud computing. In this model, independent providers offer unbundled services such as compute and storage within a single framework, providing much wider customer choice than existing single-provider clouds while lowering barriers to new and innovative cloud technologies.
What is the Mass. Open Cloud? What are our goals, who are our partners, and what are our plans? This and more will be discussed in our talk, as we describe a vision for the future of cloud computing in which economies of scale coexist peacefully with opportunities for individual innovation.
