Modern data centre facilities are an essential component in the move to cloud/green computing, a discipline taught to honours degree level at LYIT.

Thomas Dowling, Head of Department of Computing, welcomed the Yahoo donation.

“This equipment will give LYIT students superb access to a real world environment and will allow them to hone their skills. We’d like to thank Yahoo for their generous contribution.”

The equipment coming from Yahoo will be used for –

1. Enterprise applications and security teaching.

2. VMWare, Hyper-V and KVM virtualization and private cloud servers.

3. Project servers for award year students.

4. Project servers for MSc/post-graduate student projects.

The CDC is a teaching and research data centre run by the Computing department which replicates the work environment and offers hands-on learning for students.

It is used by 3rd and 4th year under-graduates and by post-graduate students, in addition to being a home for research projects in smart grid, software development and security.
