eduWeb 2008 in 140 words - Head in the Cloud: On-Demand Solutions for Processing, Storage and Content Delivery Needs by Mike Richwalsky and Josh Tysiachney from Allegheny College
July 22nd, 2008 by Karine Joly
Note from Karine: This year, I’ve asked all the eduWeb speakers working in universities/colleges to share in 140 words or less the biggest take-away from their presentation or table talk. If you’ve attended this session, feel free to weigh in by posting a comment, a question or a suggestion.
The cloud is cheap, easy, distributed and redundant. It alleviates load on your campus network and on you, the web developer.
I think it will really be eye-opening to the people that the cloud doesn’t have to be expensive or hard to manage.
One quick snippet - we’re serving 50 GB of data a month using Amazon S3.
Cost to serve that?
$9.
The load taken off our campus network and the joy I get knowing its being served from multiple data centers: priceless!
