Government Cloud Computing Forum 2011

Federal, State and Local Government agencies spend an estimated $10 billion on ICT and e-government initiatives in Australia. In a cost-conscious environment, pressures are intensifying on government enterprises to use alternative IT delivery models to run massive technology and communications infrastructures. Cloud computing offers a chance to utilise web protocols and internet services as a viable, low-cost IT delivery models.

Increasing, agencies are either assessing, or migrating agency-owned IT infrastructure to shared, commoditised infrastructure in a "virtual" world. The cloud delivery model will help manage the cost of running IT infrastructure, while cutting back on duplication, paying for usage-based services in the cloud, control massive IT capital outlays, minimise the cost of high-risk projects, and cost-effectively upgrade and modernise technology infrastructure.

Cloud computing in government, or "G-cloud" computing will radically transform the way ICT infrastructure is designed, managed, accessed within 21st century government enterprises

The Government Cloud Computing Summit 2010 offers timely, cost-saving, and practical insights into cloud computing, while demystifying the jargon about share, commoditised infrastructure, and benefits across the three tiers of government.
