‘Cloud computing’ can transform the way IT services and infrastructures are delivered to public sector organisations.
Our expertise
‘Cloud Computing’ uses remote servers to store, manage and process data rather than local servers. These remote servers may be hosted on the Internet, providing services to a wide range of users (Public Cloud), or may be hosted within a private data centre, providing services to a more limited set of clients (Private Cloud/Internal Cloud). Users access cloud-based applications through their web browser, or a light-weight desktop application or a mobile application. The business application and the users’ data are stored on the remote servers in the Cloud.
There are already many Public Cloud service providers in business, such as Google, Amazon, Salesforce, Microsoft, Citrix, Joyent and Rackspace.
Cloud services offer an opportunity to transform the way IT services and infrastructures are delivered to public sector organisations, offering the potential to revolutionise the way ICT services are purchased, managed, and delivered. They will fundamentally change the way organisations interact with their ICT suppliers. However use of the Cloud is not without its issues: not all applications are suitable, benefits are sometimes overstated and successful delivery of these services requires experience, and understanding, of possible problems.
