Office 365 Brings the Cloud to Education: Office 365 for education, Microsoft’s next generation cloud productivity service for schools and universities, will launch later this year. The shift to the cloud is enabling anytime, anywhere learning and levelin. LONDON – Jan. 11, 2010 – When Microsoft announced Office 365 late last year, the company showed how workers will use the cloud to collaborate more easily from virtually anywhere on any device. Now it’s about to do the same for students. Microsoft announced today that Office 365 for education, the company’s next-generation cloud productivity service for K-12 schools and universities (and the successor to Live@edu), will launch later this year.

The company made the announcement in London at BETT, the world’s largest educational technology showcase. Also in London today, Microsoft announced that 15 million students now use Live@edu, up from 11 million students just three months ago. Office 365 for education will be the successor to Live@edu, which is Microsoft’s current communication and collaboration offering for K-12 schools and universities.

Cloud Computing Services with VMware Virtualization - Cloud Infrastructure.

Luckily you don’t need to rearchitect for different public cloud infrastructures. VMware cloud computing services let you run both new and legacy applications in the cloud so you can leverage your existing investments while still gaining the agility and cost-effectiveness of a public cloud. If your existing infrastructure is built on VMware vSphere, used by more than 80% of businesses worldwide, you can take advantage of a true hybrid cloud solution and extend your data center to the cloud quickly, easily and confidently.

Because VMware vCloud Air is built on vSphere, your onsite and offsite IT environments can be connected and integrated, running existing and new applications in exactly the same way. You can get the same performance, security and compliance as you do from your current VMware infrastructure with the same agility, automation and standardization available in the cloud.
