Strategic Implications of Cloud Lab Initiatives
Clifford Lynch
Carnegie Mellon University has announced a partnership with Emerald Cloud Labs to create a dedicated Cloud Lab for the University; this effort was the subject of the closing plenary at the December 2021 Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) meeting (see video).
In this discussion, I’ll start by briefly summarizing the initiative for those unfamiliar with it, and also discuss some interesting related developments in core research instrumentation operations. I’ll then focus on the broader implications for research resilience, scholarly communication, research data management, university budgeting, and other areas.
