"We already have long experience in using virtual computers in the master's programme in network and system administration, where they are used as labs by the students." 
– Vi har alt lang erfaring i å bruke virtuelle maskiner i undervisning på masterstudiet i nettverks- og systemadministrasjon, der de brukes som lab for studentene.
Self-service cloud computing 
Selvbetjent sky
"What's new about the cloud environment we're building is that it offers self-service capabilities, which means we can allocate resource quotas instead of computers. 
– Det nye med skyen vi bygger, er at den tilbyr selvbetjening.
You can create machines based on need." 
Du kan bygge maskiner etter behov.
"Users who need a lot of computing power for research projects can have really good virtual machines, while students can have small ones. 
– De som trenger mye regnekraft til forskningsprosjekter kan få kjempegode virtuelle maskiner, og studenter kan få små maskiner.
All the administration work is taken care of by simple programmes built by us." 
All forvaltningen gjøres med enkle programmer vi har laget.
"Simple point and click applications enable you to do things yourself, exactly as you want to." 
– Med enkle pek og klikk kan du faktisk gjøre det selv, slik som du vil ha det.
"This offers vast potential. 
– Det er kjempepotensial i dette.
And what is really good is that we are already familiar with it and we are teachers. 
Og det som er så bra, er at vi allerede kan det og at vi er lærere.
We will pass this on to others and get them to start using it, too. 
Vi vil formidle dette, og få andre til å ta det i bruk.
That is quite unique, I think," says Begnum. 
Det tror jeg er veldig unikt, sier Kyrre Begnum.
Cloud computing makes sound financial sense 
God økonomi i sky
"Financially, it makes very good sense for the faculty. 
– Det er veldig god økonomi i dette for fakultetet.
Why shouldn't those who use, for example, high-performance computing utilise these resources?" says Engelstad. 
Hvorfor kan ikke de som driver med for eksempel high performing computing bruke denne ressursen, spør Paal.
"Someone else can use the resource when you are logged out. 
– Når du har logget av, er det noen andre som kan bruke ressursen.
When you're not using your virtual computer, others can. 
Når du ikke bruker din virtuelle maskin, kan andre slippe til.
That is the underlying logic behind cloud technology. 
Slik er logikken bak skyteknologien.
It's financially sound and represents a good investment," says Engelstad. 
Det er god økonomi, og en god investering, sier Paal.
Yet many families feel as if they have their own cabin. 
Men mange familier har en følelse av at de har en hytte.
That's a bit like what we're doing," says Begnum. 
Det er litt av det samme vi gjør, sier Kyrre.
"When you use the cloud, you get the sense of possessing a lot of hardware. 
– Når du bruker skyen, kommer du til å føle at du har mye maskinvare.
Then when you log out and the next user logs on, he gets the same sense. 
Så logger du av, og neste kommer på, og føler han har masse maskinvare.
It's a win-win situation," says Engelstad. 
Det er en «win–win»-situasjon, sier Paal.
Servers at HiOA 
Servere på HiOA
"What type of hardware is involved in cloud computing?" 
– Hva slags maskinvare utgjør skyen?
"We buy regular servers with very large capacity, around 64 processors, and several hundred gigabytes of RAM, which are installed in vast racks in a server room. 
– Vi kjøper inn vanlige servere med veldig stor kapasitet, rundt 64 prosessorer og flere hundre gigabyte RAM, som settes inn i svære skap på et serverrom.
And there they stay, pretending to be a large cloud. 
Og der skal de stå og late som om de er en stor sky.
The users will have a web interface for creating their machines," says Begnum. 
Brukerne vil ha et webgrensesnitt hvor de lager sine maskiner, sier Kyrre.
"We receive good support from HiOA's IT department, which has given us the possibility to locate the equipment in one of their server rooms with good cooling and stable power supply. 
– Vi får god støtte av IT-avdelingen på HiOA, som har gitt oss muligheten til å sette utstyret på et av deres serverrom med fabelaktig kjøling og stabil strøm.
They are helping us set everything up and can connect it to the rest of the college's network." 
De hjelper til med oppsettet, og kan knytte den til resten av høgskolenettet.
OpenStack 
«OpenStack»
"Although this is relatively ordinary hardware, the key component is the OpenStack software, which Kyrre is really good at setting up," says Engelstad, emphasizing Kyrre Begnum's efforts and motivation for getting the cloud in place. 
– Selv om dette er relativt vanlig hardvare, er nøkkelen softwaren «OpenStack», som Kyrre er veldig dyktig på å sette opp, understreker Paal, og legger vekt på Kyrres innsats og drivkraft for å få skyen på plass.
"OpenStack is open source cloud computing software. 
– «OpenStack» er et skyprodukt, og det er basert på åpen kildekode.
It's completely free to use," says Begnum. 
Det er helt gratis for oss å bruke, sier Kyrre.
"You have the underlying hardware, and a software layer on top, OpenStack, which you encounter when you serve yourself," says Engelstad. 
– Du har maskinvaren i bånn, og et softwarelag på toppen, «OpenStack», som du møter når du skal betjene deg selv, legger Paal til.
"Have you developed it in any way?" 
– Har dere utviklet det på noe vis?
For example, HP's products are based on OpenStack. 
Blant annet er HP sitt produkt er basert på «OpenStack».
The solution we're using has tremendous industry backing," says Begnum. 
Det er industrityngde i det vi bruker, sier Kyrre.
"But the tools we use to roll out labs on OpenStack were developed in-house. 
– Men verktøyene vi bruker for å rulle ut laber på «OpenStack» er noe vi har utviklet her på huset.
It's the Manage Large Networks system that was developed in connection with my PhD," says Begnum. 
Det er MLN-systemet (Manage Large Networks) som er utviklet i forbindelse med doktorgraden min, sier Kyrre.
Having the hardware is an advantage 
Fordel å ha maskinvaren
"What advantage is there in having the hardware located at HiOA rather than elsewhere?" 
– Hva er fordelen med å ha maskinvaren på HiOA framfor et annet sted?
"One advantage is the hourly rate. 
– Det ene er timepris.
When you use someone else's cloud, you are usually invoiced at an hourly rate. 
Vanligvis når du bruker en annens sky, blir du fakturert per time.
That's how the modern IT market works. 
Dette er den moderne IT-økonomien i dag.
You don't make large investments any more." 
Du gjør ikke store investeringer lenger.
"You only buy what you need right now. 
– Du kjøper akkurat det du trenger akkurat nå.
But that means that only those who know exactly what they need will succeed in the market." 
Men det betyr at det er kun den som vet nøyaktig hva han trenger, som er suksessfull i markedet.
"If we were to buy the labs from a public cloud, our options would have been limited. 
– Hvis vi skulle kjøpe labene fra en offentlig sky, hadde det vært begrenset hvilke muligheter vi ville ha.
And access to some of the powerful machines would have cost us a lot and incurred other costs along the way. 
Og noen av de kraftige maskinene ville ha kostet oss ganske mye penger å bruke, og vi ville ha hatt økonomiske kostnader hele veien.
But the worst part would have been that our group – after all, we conduct research on this – would have had no opportunity to create a better cloud by operating virtual machines alone." 
Men det verste ville ha vært at vår gruppe, vi forsker jo på dette, ikke hadde hatt noen mulighet til å lage en bedre sky av bare å kjøre virtuelle maskiner.
"How far have you come?" 
– Hvor langt har dere kommet nå?
"We now have the hardware, and we're rigging it up in the data centre. 
– Nå har vi fått maskinvaren, og rigger den inn i datasenteret.
After that we will start the installation work. 
Og så begynner vi å installere.
With luck, it will be up and running next semester. 
Hvis vi er heldige, har vi det oppe til neste semester.
And then we will commence training, testing, and performance adjustments. 
Og da vil vi begynne med opplæring, testing og ytelsesendringer.
From next autumn we will be making full use of available capacity," says Begnum. 
Fra høsten bruker vi for alvor kapasiteten, svarer Kyrre.
Popular demand for cloud computing 
Etterspurt sky
"We've already received enquiries from teachers outside our department wanting to use it. 
– Vi har allerede fått henvendelser fra lærere utenfor vårt institutt som ønsker å bruke dette.
And they would like it as soon as possible," says Engelstad. 
De vil gjerne ha det så fort som mulig, sier Paal.
"They are often teachers who need to develop solutions because some students use Windows, others Linux, and still others Mac, and they realise that this represents a lot of work. 
– Det kan typisk være en lærer som må utvikle løsninger fordi noen studenter bruker Windows, andre Linux og andre igjen Mac, og ser at det er en kjempejobb.
In cases like this we could offer a basic platform-free solution to students. 
Her kan man ha en enkel plattformfri løsning som man kan tilby studentene sine.
They realise that they could save themselves a lot of time. 
Man ser at man sparer masse jobb på det selv.
Besides, it's much easier if students serve themselves," says Engelstad. 
Pluss at det er mye enklere at studenten betjener seg selv, sier Paal.
"We got enough for a good cloud, but we designed it with future expansions in mind. 
– Vi fikk nok til å få en god sky, men vi designet den for framtidige utvidelser.
As far as I know, no other clouds of the size we're building currently exist in the education sector in Norway," says Begnum. 
Så langt jeg vet, finnes det ingen skyer på den størrelsen som vi bygger nå innenfor utdannings-Norge, sier Kyrre.
"Yes, they're very popular, and experience in using them gives our students an advantage. 
– Ja, det er veldig populært, og for våre studenter er det et fortrinn å ha brukererfaring med skyer.
They write their master's theses on them. 
De gjør masteroppgaver på det.
And we'll have lots of them next semester," says Begnum. 
Og det får vi masse av neste semester, sier Kyrre.
"Our dream is that on their first day here as bachelor students, they will be told: Here you are, one machine each. 
– Vi har en drøm om at våre studenter første dagen de begynner her som bachelorstudenter får beskjed om: Vær så god, hver sin maskin.
It will follow you throughout your studies." 
Den følger hele studiet ditt.
"With a cloud computing system like ALTO, we have the opportunity to offer all our master's students a machine that follows them throughout a two-year period. 
– Med en sky som ALTO har vi mulighet til å tilby alle masterstudentene en maskin som følger dem over en toårsperiode.
And if they somehow destroy it, they can receive a new one, no problem." 
Og hvis du ødelegger den, får du en ny uten problemer.
"To my mind, this will not be a success if we remain the only community that ends up using it; the whole faculty must see that it is being used and that it enhances teaching and research projects." 
– Dette er ikke en suksess i mine øyne hvis vi blir det eneste miljøet som ender opp med å bruke det, men om man på tvers av fakultetet ser at dette blir tatt i bruk, og at det styrker undervisningen og forskningsprosjektene.
Kyrre Begnum and Paal Engelstad also emphasize that cloud technology will become important for society and will be much more widely used in key tasks in society in the years ahead. 
Kyrre og Paal understreker også at skyteknologi kommer til å bli viktig for samfunnet, og vil bli mye brukt i viktige samfunnsoppgaver i årene framover.
Paradigm shift in the IT industry 
Paradigmeskifte i IT-industrien
"The entire structure of society rests on cloud technology working as it should. 
– Hele samfunnsstrukturen hviler på at Cloud-teknologien funker.
Companies will have their own clouds. 
Bedriftene kommer til å ha sine egne skyer.
Our master students will enter companies that have cloud technology in their computer rooms. 
Våre masterstudenter kommer til å gå ut i bedrifter hvor de har cloudet datarommet sitt.
But they will also be external users of cloud services, so it is absolutely necessary for our master students to learn it," says Begnum. 
Men de vil også være brukere av skytjenester eksternt.
"Our computer engineers will also see it in their everyday work. 
– Dataingeniørene våre kommer også til å se den hverdagen.
It represents a paradigm shift in the IT industry, and it has come about in the space of only two years." 
Det er et paradigmeskifte i IT-industrien, og det har foregått i bare to år.
"The university and university college sector has the opportunity to position itself. 
– Vi har mulighet til å posisjonere oss i universitets- og høgskolesektoren.
And that's a really good thing," adds Engelstad. 
Og det er veldig all right, legger Paal til.
Better security 
Bedre sikkerhet
"Can cloud technology offer better security?" 
– Kan skyteknologien gi bedre sikkerhet?
"Yes, because when it runs virtual machines, it installs security networks around them so that we can remove some of the risk of making our own mistakes . 
– Ja, fordi at når de kjører virtuelle maskiner setter de inn sikkerhetsnett rundt dem, sånn at vi kan ta vekk noe av risikoen ved å gjøre egne feil.
Or we can set up a network that detects when, for example, a machine has been infected. 
Eller vi kan sette opp et nett som fanger det opp for eksempel hvis en maskin skulle bli infisert.
We can automatically block the machine and handle it without suffering any negative effects," says Begnum. 
Da kan vi automatisk blokkere maskinen, og håndtere det uten at det blir noen effekt, sier Kyrre.
"It's also possible to move a virtual machine from one machine to another without closing it down," days Begnum. 
– Det er også mulig å flytte en virtuell maskin fra en maskin til en annen uten å ta den ned, sier Kyrre.
Even virtual machines that are running can simply be moved while still in operation. 
Selve de virtuelle maskinene som kjøres, blir bare flyttet over mens de kjører.
We can shut them down, repair them, start them up and put them back in place." 
Og så kan vi ta ned, reparere, og sette den inn, og flytte ting tilbake igjen.
Development work is taking place in the clouds 
Utviklingen skjer i skyene
What makes cloud technology so exciting is that that is where development work is taking place. 
Og det som gjør Cloud så spennende at det er i den utviklingen skjer.
It's a multimillion dollar industry. 
Det er en milliardindustri.
The industry realizes this, and is investing heavily in it. 
Og industrien skjønner det, det er her de putter utviklingen.
And that's where we want to be," says Engelstad. 
Og det er her vi ønsker å være, sier Paal.
"It's quite funny, because we use OpenStack, and today many providers are launching a rebranded version of it. 
– Det er veldig morsomt siden vi bruker «OpenStack», og mange leverandører i dag lanserer også en versjon rebrandet av «OpenStack».
"Mine research project is related to cloud technology, and will be supervising four master students and one bachelor project, all of them related to cloud technology. 
Og de er alle knyttet til skyen.
And I'm sure that others will be supervising as many. 
Og det er sikkert like mange som andre skal veilede.
Hoping to make clouds bigger 
Håper å gjøre skyen større
It hasn't reached optimal size yet," says Engelstad. 
Det er ikke optimal størrelse enda, sier Paal.
"But as we gradually manage to prove the utility value of this cloud, I hope we will get the chance to invest even more in it," says Engelstad. 
– Men etterhvert som vi klarer å vise nytteverdien av denne skyen, håper jeg at vi får mulighet til å investere mer i den, sier Paal.
"But we think someone must see it first, and hear the success stories in a discipline in which it is being used. 
– Vi tror likevel noen må se det først, og høre suksesshistoriene i et fag hvor dette blir tatt i bruk.
Only then will teachers understand what they must do," says Begnum. 
Da vil de som lærere skjønne hva de skal gjøre, sier Kyrre.
"If other units have a need for special software programmes, they can use our infrastructure without having to buy new hardware." 
– Hvis andre avdelinger har behov for spesielle programmer, kan de bruke vår infrastruktur uten å kjøpe ny maskinvare.
"When they can simply log on from anywhere, it doesn't matter where the machine is running. 
– Når de bare kan logge seg på fra hvor som helst, spiller ikke det noen rolle hvor maskinen kjører.
