Samenvatting:Key Takeaways * Established in 1972 as one of four regional data centers for the State University System of Florida, NWRDC initially offered mainframe services to universities across the state as a community cloud system. * A self-governance model makes NWRDC a computing cooperative of over 70 member organizations with access to enterprise-level services and facilities that would be difficult and expensive to implement individually. * Still heavily rooted in education, NWRDC now provides services to a wide range of universities, colleges, and state, county, and city governments. A community cloud exists within Florida State University’s Northwest Regional Data Center (NWRDC). Established in 1972 as one of four regional data centers for the State University System of Florida, NWRDC initially offered mainframe services to universities across the state. Subsequently, client-server computing provided the opportunity for distribution of some tasks to the local systems, thus reserving the central computer for heavy calculation, specialized applications, and data distribution. Community Cloud Data Center An example of a community cloud exists within Florida State University’s Northwest Regional Data Center (NWRDC). Established in 1972 as one of four regional data centers for the State University System of Florida, NWRDC initially offered mainframe services to universities across the state.
