Cloud computing is driving a transformation in how IT applications and services are delivered and consumed. A Community Cloud allows its members to access applications hosted in a shared infrastructure, sharing and reducing the cost of delivering those services, which can be accessed from devices ranging from the traditional desktops to the iPad.
In this session we will explore the concepts of Cloud computing, its value to institutions, considerations in building and managing a Cloud and how a statewide community cloud like the one being considered by NJSBA and NJEDGE could benefit its members from a cost savings, shared services and student achievement standpoint.
