22. “Cloud computing has the potential to revolutionise research by
offering vast compute resources on-demand. At Newcastle
University, we already have over £20M of research projects that
are supported by the cloud. However, one of the major barriers
holding back further cloud adoption is the time it takes to
transfer large datasets from the lab to the cloud for analysis. This
new link between Janet and the Azure Cloud removes this barrier,
and will allow a far greater range of research projects to fully
exploit the benefits of cloud computing.”
“In the UK, higher education institutions are fortunate to have high
speed network services as provided by Janet. The capability
afforded by Janet’s peering with Microsoft’s Azure Cloud with high-
bandwidth secure connections creates new opportunities for
researchers and the University community as a whole.”
