- Title
Virtualisation for local cloud computing: DWU data centre.
- Authors
Anderson, Peter K.
- Abstract
Virtualisation, meaning in effect but not in reality, is a concept of increasing importance in computing. DWU ICT Services Department has developed a Data Centre where both Server functionality and data storage are based on this concept with resulting economy of purchasable hardware as well as power and maintenance costs. This study was based on personal observations and interviews with senior ICT Services staff. It points to the way of the future where various forms of virtualisation of computing services, known as "Cloud Computing", could become as accessible a public utility as power on the electricity grid.
