What Cloud 2.0 Looks Like in Higher Education
As data demands, security requirements, and budget pressures intensify, higher education IT leaders are moving beyond “cloud-first” toward a more strategic Cloud 2.0 approach. This Campus Technology whitepaper examines how hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, cloud-native network design, and automation are enabling institutions to optimize costs while supporting data-intensive research, AI-driven workloads, and modern learning environments. It also highlights the growing importance of zero-trust security and role-aware access for dynamic campus populations. Together, these capabilities position the campus network as a critical enabler of innovation, resilience, and long-term digital transformation.
