RightScale launches Education Program to promote Research in the Clouds

“RightScale had its roots in higher education, and we are strongly committed to helping advance research and innovation through cloud computing,” said Michael Crandell, RightScale CEO. “Cloud computing can dramatically reduce the resources required to conduct research and accelerate new discoveries, at a time when innovation is critical to the health of our global economy. We believe that soon all research — from computer systems architecture to biotechnology and other scientific computing — will be powered by the cost-effective and limitless compute resources provided by cloud computing, and we are happy to be able to promote this through RightScale’s new Education Program.”

Harvard Medical School Taps RightScale for Cloud Resource Management

The Center for Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School is using RightScale as part of their “Translational Science in the Cloud” seminar. Participants in this Harvard seminar, or “palaver,” will conduct a series of biomedical discovery and translational science projects using cloud computing technology. To accomplish these objectives, they will create, manage and use a “translational research laboratory” on the cloud, based on emerging cloud technology and services. Teams will use the RightScale Cloud Management Platform to manage their server deployments running on Amazon Web Services.
