The Information Technology Leadership Council (ITLC) at UC Davis has established an ad hoc Cloud Computing Task Force (CCTF) to evaluate cloud computing and its relevance to the university. Our focus includes defining cloud computing, assessing its potential for high-performance computing, administrative tasks, large-scale storage, disaster recovery, and green computing. We will address security, capacity planning, system performance, legal considerations, and provide recommendations for adoption and further study. The CCTF includes members from various UC research and computing groups.

Our Charge from the ITLC • “The Information Technology Leadership Council (ITLC) has created an ad hoc Cloud Computing Task Force (CCTF) to assess cloud computing and its applicability within the University of California.”
Issues We Will Address - 1 • A definition and description of cloud computing, including its relationship to other architectural components, such as clusters and grids.
Issues We Will Address - 2 • The potential of cloud computing to address the following: • High-performance computing • Administrative computing • Large-scale storage • Disaster recovery • Non-stop / fail-soft services • Green computing
Issues We Will Address - 3 • Considerations for the deployment of cloud computing, including: • Security • Capacity planning (network, processing, storage) • "End to end" system performance • Portability • Legal and contractual issues • Data center planning • Build vs. buy vs. sell
Issues We Will Address - 4 • Recommendations to the ITLC for deployment and further study of cloud computing technologies, including an ongoing organizational structure.
Membership • Membership is drawn from the following UC communities: • UC Research Computing Group (UCRCG) • Joint Data Center Managers Group (JDCMG) • Communications Planning Group (CPG) • UC Grid developers • UC cloud computing researchers
