Cloud computing is an Internet-based computing wherein resources are provided over the Internet 'as a service' to users, in a completely transparent manner.
We plan to set up cloud infrastructure at IIIT-H research centres and at the institute level. We also aim to contribute in a big way to open source development in the area. The collaboration with Yahoo! India Research and Development will help boost our efforts to achieve these goals," said Vasudeva Varma , associate professor at IIIT-H and principal investigator of the joint collaboration project.
Cloud computing is being offered as an optional course in undergraduate and postgraduate curricula at IIIT-H.
The collaboration will provide IIIT-H students an opportunity to research and work with Yahoo's key architects on cutting-edge technologies. It will also give Yahoo! India R&D a chance to absorb IIIT-H students who participate in collaborative research.
According to Yahoo! India R&D, collaborations like these will aid industry-academia interactions and lay a strong foundation for the creation of the much-needed research talent, according to a release. The two organizations will help in the development of open source technologies and research focusing on cloud computing - a new area with immense potential to change the world of computing.
Last year, the institute had forged ties with US-based Nvidia Corporation to set up a visual computing lab. The company has invested $30,000- $50,000 for the lab. The lab will provide the students and institute with equipment, software licences and the requisite know-how to research in the field.
It is estimated that, in future, around 90% of computing globally will be done through this new paradigm.
