VIRTUAL-- UC Berkeley Cloud Meetup 023: Internet2
Details
NOTE: The UC Berkeley Cloud Community of Practice's 23rd meetup will be held at our new regular time: the last Thursday of the month at 1pm. This is the result of community feedback, and more conducive to virtual participation from people nationally.
The meetup will be on THURSDAY, April 29 at 1pm, featuring speakers from Internet2.
Internet2 is a non-profit community organization providing a secure high-speed network, cloud solutions, research support, and services tailored for research and education. Our community includes higher education, research institutions, government entities and cultural organizations. Many of the actions you take on your computer each day, from logging in to collaborating with a colleague across campus or across the globe has been made possible by the work of Internet2. All of the work of Internet2 is made possible by you and your peers across higher education in the US.
Although Internet2, often referred to as “I2”, is a small organization, it has areas of deep expertise in networking, identity, security, research support and cloud technologies. Representatives from across I2 will walk you through the solutions the organization has been building to power your digital success for 25 years.
Everyone is welcome - this is a really inclusive group! You don't have to be an expert, or already know about cloud technologies; we get together so people can learn from each other.
