Challenge: Government must be more productive

Challenge: Government must be more productive

“Why should the government pay for and build infrastructure that is available at a low cost?”

“In these tough economic times, the government must buy smarter.”

“If in our lives we can go online and provision e-mail in a matter of minutes...why must the government spend millions

on information that's not sensitive?”

Challenge: Serving the Public

Government has to deliver services not only within our own geographical boundaries

but to a globally dispersed citizenry which require convenient access to government services.

Challenge: Serving the Public

Citizens are putting more demands on their governments, not only in regard to how services are provided, but in how efficiently government

operations are run.

What is cloud?

A “government cloud” mirrors the system used by Google and other large companies, which put cheap

“server” computers into huge data centers to provide computing power on demand which is

delivered where it is needed via the internet.

That would be provided to government departments and local government, replacing the aging and inefficient

systems used in many of the hundreds of data centers presently used and frequently run at far below their capacity

because they are dedicated to one department.

Cloud Computing ExplainedCharacteristics of Cloud Services

Little or No Capital Expense

Elastic and Scalable

Consumption based Pricing

Rapid acquisition and deployment

Lower ongoing operating costs

Cloud computing has been referred to as the democratization of Information Technology. Give your users the tools to solve their IT problems instead of making them dependent on a limited pool of IT “experts”.

October 2009 - http://apps.gov launched!

Federal CIO Vivek Kundra launched the government-sponsored cloud computing services website

Apps.Gov in October 2009 to showcase cloud and Software as a Service options preapproved for use by

federal agencies.

said Kundra, can simplify acquisition, budgeting,

policy planning,and architecture.

UK government creates G-Cloud

The UK government has unveiled a sweeping strategy to create its own internal "cloud computing" system as part

of a radical plan that it claims could save up to £3.2bn a year from an annual bill of at least £16bn.

The key part of the new strategy, outlined by the Cabinet Office minister Angela Smith, will be

the concentration of government computing power into a series of about a dozen highly secure data centres,

each costing up to £250m to build, which will replace more than 500 presently used by central government,

police forces and local authorities.
