OpenNebulaConf2015 2.07 OpenNebula, a Core Piece Inside Innovation Labs - Jordi Guijarro
Smartcities’, IoT, ‘Smartclouds’, …¿fuzzy words? Seems that cities/campus/neighbourhoods… should to evolve in a quick way where new technologies have a important role. Some visionary trends talk about technicities/technicampus/technineighbourhoods/…. interconnected places that could work together beyond the Smartcity paradigm. Actually, there is a important chance in innovation for this fields where simulation and prototyping initiatives are on the research projects agenda. CSUC, as an ICT service provider for high education and research institutions, is participating in some European and national projects boosting DC’s energy efficiency, advanced cloud technologies and hpc services. In this talk we will discover why and how through OpenNebula we are providing a city innovation cloud platform in conjunction with the Barcelona City Council Computing Institute (IMI) for DC4Cities (www.dc4cities.eu) European project.
