For a number of reasons, mostly procurement and spending public money related:
3 months of head scratching ensued
» We want IaaS
» Use the “Jisc Cloud”
» There is no spoon
» GOTO 10
First problem, navigate the hearsay
09/03/2015 Jisc Digital Festival, 9-10 March 2015, ICC Birmingham 41
» Buy cloud though the Janet Framework Agreement
› One couldn't, what you could do was this...
– Rent machine room space
– Procure machines
– You could build a “Cloud”
Second problem ask (and re-ask, and re-ask) for what we wanted: IaaS

» Mimas would spend ~£85k p.a. on internal support: 1 internal FTE.
» Mimas would also pay salary overheads on all staff ~£15k p.c. p.a.
› a proportion of which would be donated the the ongoing support of University IT
