Invitation to Participate
Dear Participant, I invite you to take part in the following study.
This study is conducted as part of my doctoral dissertation, titled 'Architecture and Resource Orchestration for a Sovereign Academic Cloud with Integrated LLM Inference'.
The broader scope of the dissertation focuses on designing a sovereign academic cloud infrastructure. It explores advanced resource orchestration, including dynamic GPU allocation between Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and AI workloads. A key component of the research involves validating these architectures through large-scale infrastructure simulations (such as VDI boot storms) utilizing autonomous AI agents.
The purpose of this survey is to gather information about the state of IT infrastructure in European higher education institutions, with a special focus on VDI environments, vendor lock-in, and digital sovereignty.
