Core Partnerships Established for Massachusetts Open Cloud

The Rafik B. Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering at Boston University (BU) today announced the core industry partnerships for the Massachusetts Open Cloud (MOC). The core partners that have joined the project are: Brocade, Cisco, Intel, Lenovo, Red Hat and Two Sigma. These companies span all the segments of the industry critical to the success of the MOC project including the hardware, software, and services sectors. Each has also made crucial in-kind commitments such as computer infrastructure, support for deploying and operating the MOC, and engineering support needed to develop and integrate the capabilities required for the OCX model.

“We are thrilled to be working with and have the support of these industry leaders,” says Orran Krieger, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at BU and the MOC project lead. “Their involvement in this project is central to the mission and success of the MOC and we look forward to bringing Massachusetts to the forefront of cloud computing technology.”
