This project will enable HSU to participate in the multi-campus CSU Cyberinfrastructure Data Center Initiative pilot project, which is exploring the potential benefits of moving campus-based server resources to the cloud without incurring the kind of cost it would take to do this alone. Over the longer term, shifting data center operations to the cloud will enable the campus to more quickly and efficiently take advantage of new technologies for the benefit of the entire campus.

10/30/12: Continuing to wait for vendor selection.
