University College Cork builds cloud incubator for SMBs with Dell and VMware

Description

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) may find an easier route to cloud computing via a new cloud incubator designed to avoid large upfront costs and complexities that can come with migrating to hosted platforms. The UCC Cloud Incubator, the result of a partnership between University College Cork (UCC), Dell and VMware, will be powered by Dell and VMware, and managed by Dell Services.

“Difficulties faced by the SMB sector in Ireland around cloud computing include access to appropriate software and resources, as well as tangible advice around the subject matter,” said John Morrison, of UCC’s Centre for Unified Computing.
