Predictions on Service Adoption and Utilization Meet Reality. First Results from the sciebo (science box) Project
Abstract
The majority of the public research and applied science universities in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) formed a consortium to start a jointly operated private cloud service to provide a free of charge, easy to use sync and share storage platform for the academic community fully compliant with German data protection regulations hosted on-premise at several university data centers. The system design with respect to software functionality and hardware setup for this service catering for a potentially 500.000 strong user community was grounded on empirical user studies from the very start.
