Cloud computing incubator at UCC

Description

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE Cork has partnered with Dell and VMware to create a cloud computing incubator that allows small firms to conduct a trial run of the technology.

UCC’s Prof John Morrison said the service was being provided to small and medium-sized businesses free of charge. Companies can access the extra capacity on the university’s servers, which was built up over several years as a result of state projects. The university also recently invested in a cloud solution for its researchers.
