520 3 |a Even if an integrated generic service for virtual research collaboration is unlikely to be achieved soon, there are possibilities for benefiting from economies of scale through collaborative areas such as cloud computing, virtualization, and the open agenda, which includes open educational resources and open science. The opportunities for exploiting the cloud in administrative computing will benefit from experiences in the commercial sector, with further cost benefits achieved through the larger-scale use of cloud computing for resource-intensive applications that avoid the need for large-scale in-house computer and data storage, which can be difficult to capitalize and maintain in smaller institutions. The longer term use of the cloud for general computing in a university or college might also cost less than either central or distributed IT provision when economies of scale can be realized. Data Security and Persistence of Service A more difficult issue when considering a cloud solution is confidence that the data and application will be secure and that the service will continue to be available over many years.
