As other technical universities, Bauman University is challenged with timely incorporating newly emerged information technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT), in education and research. One of those challenges for universities today is implementation of cloud technologies to build flexible infrastructure to support education and research in wide area of disciplines. Since the cloud has become the primary platform to host IoT services, universities need to integrate cloud-based resources into the IT infrastructure to support student projects. The target cloud platform has to be IoT enabled: it should be scalable to be connected with many thing instances; flexible to implement new features and services; and simple to reduce the development time. In this paper we present an experience and example of implementation of multi-vendor cloud infrastructure to support modern research activities. Various cloud technologies implemented to improve educational process will be considered and some future work will be discussed on the example of Bauman University.
