The idea of sharing resources between institutions is not new and has been relatively successful in a few instances and largely unsuccessful in many cases. This proposal elaborates a plan to construct the Campus Compute Cooperative (CCC), a shared cyberinfrastructure as well as a social fabric; both computational resources and support staff expertise will be pooled and shared. The CCC will: i) connect and federate campus physical infrastructures; ii) use market-based mechanisms for resource allocation and quality of service to avoid the tragedy of the commons; iii) leverage InCommon and local identity management systems to provide integrated cross-institution authentication and access control of resources; iv) facilitate secure data and storage sharing between institutions and research labs; v) offer "cloud bursting" to member institutions; and, vi) provide paid-for, differentiated quality of service. The impact of on-demand, pay-per-use (cloud) resources on society has been huge. Making the most of limited resources is critical to the success of the nation's research enterprise. By rationally and securely sharing the limited computational and human resources available for research the CCC will both accelerate discovery and provide a research cyberinfrastructure with better cost/benefit.

在机构之间共享资源的想法并不是什么新鲜事物，并且在少数情况下相对成功，并且在许多情况下都在很大程度上失败了。该提议详细阐述了构建校园计算合作社（CCC）的计划，这是一种共享的网络基础设施以及一种社会结构。计算资源和支持员工专业知识都将被汇总和共享。 CCC将：i）连接和联合校园的物理基础设施； ii）将基于市场的机制用于资源分配和服务质量，以避免公地的悲剧； iii）利用Incommon和当地身份管理系统提供综合的跨机构身份验证和资源的访问控制； iv）促进机构和研究实验室之间的安全数据和存储共享； v）向会员机构提供“云破裂”；和，vi）提供付费，差异化的服务。按需付费（云）资源对社会的影响一直很大。充分利用有限的资源对于国家研究企业的成功至关重要。通过合理并安全地共享可用于研究的有限计算和人力资源，CCC既可以加速发现，又为Cyber​​infrasture提供更好的成本/收益。
