Service agencies conjure their own clouds

Like many government managers, Doug Bourgeois sees cloud computing as a novel idea. But as director of the Interior Department’s National Business Center, an office already in the business of service delivery, cloud computing is not as foreign to him as it might be to others. In fact, the NBC is getting into the game.

The department is ramping up a set of information technology infrastructure services that it plans to offer other federal agencies as part of its new cloud initiative. NBC plans to put the service into testing in a month.

GSA, DISA and the National Business Center offer cloud services, but uncertainties about security, software licenses linger
