Part Seven - Thought Leaders In Cloud Computing: Dr. Marcos Athanasoulis, Harvard Medical School
SM: Would it be fair to conclude that it means the work applications that are being run on the cloud at Harvard Medical School (HMS) on the data sitting on the cloud storage are actually being accessed over the browser?
MA: No, not for all workloads and applications. You can access some stuff over the browser, but there are some types of jobs that cannot be accessed in this way.
SM: Do you still have to maintain a different configuration of rich client-side applications and platforms as part of HMS’s IT operations?
MA: Well, not for the cloud. People are still using their Macs or PCs at their desks, but they are interfacing with the cloud, and the cloud happens to be running Linux.
