Краткий обзор: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.
