Government Gets in The Cloud
White House Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra will talk about how the federal government plans to offer cloud computing services to U.S. next Tuesday. Kundra will speak Tuesday morning at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. “He will outline his vision for a new federal government cloud computing initiative,” NASA said Thursday in a statement.
The U.S. General Services Administration expects to offer Web-based applications as part of this cloud infrastructure, but it is also working on database and testing environments, as well as cloud based computing and storage resources, according to a June 18 GSA presentation.
How data from different government agencies can be secured when it is hosted on the same servers is the biggest stumbling block to this cloud computing plan, according to Alan Paller, director of research for the SANS Institute. I don’t think there’s anything to delay massive adoption by the federal government, except security,” he said. “The feds have always outsourced everything. What you’re talking about is outsourcing at lower cost and at higher capacity. Tell me why that’s a bad idea?”
