Dear list members,
VMware and the JISC-funded Virtual Infrastructure with Database as a Service Project (VIDaaS) will be running a demonstration of VMware’s cloud technology and how it is being applied by one research data management project to help reduce costs and provide flexibility. The VMware team will talk about the work they have done to host the VIDaaS Database-as-a-Service on Oxford’s virtual infrastructure, and migrate instances of the DaaS between the local VI and the Colt public cloud. VMware and VIDaaS staff will address questions about how the technology works, how it might be adapted for other applications, and how VIDaaS will be making use of it in practice.
The session will take place at Oxford University Computing Services, 13 Banbury Road, Oxford from 3pm on Tuesday 22nd November. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Oxford+University+Computing+Services,+13+Banbury+Road,+Oxford&hl=en&ll=51.75857,-1.260209&spn=0.019152,0.038581&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=19.406082,39.506836&vpsrc=6&hq=Oxford+University+Computing+Services,&hnear=13+Banbury+Rd,+Oxford+OX2+6,+United+Kingdom&t=m&z=15 Please be aware that parking in Oxford is never easy.
