MarUnivCloud: Towards a Moroccan inter-University Cloud

Cloud Computing is emerging as a very promising technology changing the way we approach Computing. MarUnivCloud is a project aiming at the promotion of Cloud Computing via the deployment of a real-world private Cloud interconnecting multiple Moroccan Universities. The deployed Cloud will benefit both students and researchers, and can serve as a seed for a futuristic public Cloud. In this paper, we present the goals, and the mission, of MarUnivCloud. We delineate relevant technical aspects (e.g., architecture and services), and present real-world testbed deployments, at two university sites, using open-source software, e.g., OpenStack and OpenNebula.
