UK education divided in its adoption of the cloud

26 August 2015 at 12:21pm

Jisc recently carried out a study to investigate whether cloud based systems and services can meet the needs of the education sector and also to determine the level of interest from the sector.

The results can be found here and if you scroll to the bottom of that page you can find the raw, anonymised data. 38 HE organisations and 37 FE providers took part in the survey.

As somone who is interested in private clouds I was struck by the high number of respondents who claim to be running various applications in a private cloud. I wonder if implementations of OpenStack (and alternatives) are far more widespread than I thought or whether respondents have a different meaning of "private cloud". Is there any more info on what exactly is being used by these institutions?

Cheers,

hi Dave,

thanks for your question about what the institutions are using. I don't have that information but would suggest that you could ask people on the UCISA IG forum at:

https://www.ucisa.ac.uk/groups/ig.aspx

You'll need to join the group and can then send your enquiry.

kind regards,

Phyllis Callinan
