On October 27, Intel launched a three-pronged initiative for cloud computing: the unveiling of its ‘Cloud 2015 vision,' the announcement of Intel's role in helping create and serving as the technical advisor to the Open Data Center Alliance, and the expansion of the Intel Cloud Builders program. You can see the launch on the webcast replay.
This launch was in response to the industry’s call for greater interoperability, increased flexibility, and open industry standards for the cloud and next-generation data centers. At the launch, Intel outlined three key elements of our ‘Cloud 2015’ vision: a world of interoperable ‘federated’ clouds; ‘automated’ movement of services and resources; and ‘client aware’ clouds that know what processing should take place in the cloud or on your laptop, smart phone or other device to provide optimal user experience.
To achieve this vision, Intel helped to form and serve as a non-voting technical advisor to the Open Data Center Alliance, an independent consortium of more than 70 IT leaders that together represent over $50 billion in annual IT investment and have cloud research or projects underway. Their mission focuses on delivering next-generation data center and cloud requirements to meet the challenges facing IT in an open, industry standard and vendor agnostic fashion. Intel also announced the expansion of Intel Cloud Builders−which feature 20 of the world’s leading hardware and software makers−along with its commitment to resources to spur innovation and make clouds easier to deploy, use, and share.
