Should the Government Develop the G-Cloud?

In the UK, we’re fairly well known for the amount of cloudy weather we have but it now seems we want more cloud – not only does it give us plenty of rain but apparently it also brings savings on a huge scale! Well that’s what the British government’s senior IT officers seem to think and they are relying on the Public Sector Network (PSN) and G-Cloud to help deliver some of the substantial £3.2 billion savings laid out in the Operational Efficiency Programme (OEP). So can the PSN and G-Cloud step up to the mark – Tom Brand, virtualisation lead at GlassHouse Technologies (UK) is not convinced.

It also requires significant changes in operational process to align to the highly flexibly and dynamic nature of cloud computing
