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.

在机构之间分享资源的想法并不新鲜，在少数情况下比较成功，在许多情况下基本上不成功。该提案详细阐述了建设校园计算合作社（CCC）的计划，这是一个共享的网络基础设施和社会结构;计算资源和支持人员的专业知识将被汇集和共享。CCC将：i）连接和联合校园物理基础设施; ii）使用基于市场的资源分配和服务质量机制，以避免公地悲剧; iii）利用InCommon和本地身份管理系统提供集成的跨机构身份验证和资源访问控制; iv）促进机构和研究实验室之间的安全数据和存储共享; v）向成员机构提供“云爆发”;以及，vi）提供付费的差异化服务质量。按需付费（云）资源对社会的影响是巨大的。充分利用有限的资源对于国家研究事业的成功至关重要。通过合理和安全地共享可用于研究的有限计算和人力资源，CCC将加速发现并提供具有更好成本/效益的研究网络基础设施。
