Government Cloud Computing Industry Analysis & Forecasts (2013-2018)

Cloud Computing: 
TYPES OF CLOUD

Cloud computing  defines a new way of sharing or accessing resources over the network. It is a kind of internet computing where services gets delivered on the organization's computers by internet as a medium. 

Cloud computing provides a best way for sharing information, resources or services over the network.

Cloud computing services are divided into three types as:
  •  IaaS (Information as a service)
  • PaaS (Platform as a service)
  • SaaS (Software as a service)

Types Of Cloud:


TYPES OF CLOUD
Public:

Public cloud is a type of cloud computing in which services are available for general use over the internet.
e.g. : IBM's Blue Cloud

In public cloud the hardware cost ,application cost as well as bandwidth cost are covered by the service provider.


Private:

A private cloud is a type of cloud computing where only a specified client can operate and access the services.The private cloud model is similar to the traditional model of individual local access networks (LANs) used in the past by organizations but with the added advantages of virtualisation.

Hybrid:

Hybrid cloud is a mix of public and private cloud. 

Community:

A community cloud is an infrastructure shared by several organizations which supports a specific community.


Benefits Of Adopting Cloud Technology To Government:

There are certain challenges that the government of the developed and the developing countries are facing. Cloud computing provides a solution to these challenges. These challenges includes some of the following :

Helps in dealing the problems because of Rapid Urbanization :

In developing countries like India and China people are moving rapidly from rural areas to urban areas which creates a problems when it comes to provide resources to such a large amount of people. According to the United Nations more than half of the global population lives in urban areas so the government officials are facing a problem in dealing with such a large amount of population.
For fulfilling needs of such a huge amount of population it requires good planning along with ample amount of resources. Moving the current IT into the cloud will help in fulfilling the demand of urbanization. Cloud technology standardizes and pools IT resources which automates the maintenance tasks which had to be done manually before. Cloud computing helps in delivering better services.

Helps in increasing The Effect Of E-governance :

E-governance provides a way of connecting the people with their governments directly and provides a platform for sharing complaints. It also increases transparency and citizen awareness. Cloud computing can further take  the process reforms and benefits of e-governance several notches up by providing a faster, easier and more cost-effective platform that can be used by multiple government agencies to share ideas, pool resources, and collaborate with each other to take concerted actions.

Technological Benefits:

Cloud computing helps the government agencies in getting continuous Tech upgrades and keep in touch with the latest technologies. Depending on the cloud computing service provider one can get automatic updates to get in touch with the latest technology.

Cost Benefits:

Cloud computing provides a best way to reduce the cost. Rather than purchasing expensive systems or devices one can use the resources provided by the cloud computing service provider. 
Government Cloud Industry Forecasts:

The global government cloud market is forecasted to grow from $2.87 billion in 2013 to $18.48 billion in 2018. This represents a Compound Annual Growth rate (CAGR) of 45.1% from 2013 to 2018. In the current scenario, government organizations are seen as the major adopter of cloud computing technologies because of their huge adnvantages. In regions, North America is poised to be the biggest market for government cloud. However, over the next six years, Asia Pacific (APAC) will experience increased market traction. APAC is expected to become the biggest market for government cloud, surpassing cloud implementations across all other regions.
