Cláudia Brito, Ricardo Macedo, Miguel Peixoto – Researchers at INESC TEC

In this episode, we talk about computing and explore CLOUDinha, a computational infrastructure that supports research and development activities in computer science.

We recorded this episode at the INESC TEC hub part of the University of Minho (Braga). But what exactly happens in this laboratory? What are bare metal, virtualisation, and security services? And what about emerging storage and networking technologies? Ultimately, what can actually be done in an infrastructure like this one? And is computing really changing the world?

To guide us through this tour of CLOUDinha, we’re joined by researchers Ricardo Macedo, Cláudia Brito, and Miguel Peixoto.
