Cloud Computing for Gov.my?
During my visits to government ministries and agencies in Putrajaya, I often asked them about cloud computing. “Are you ready for cloud computing? Do you plan for cloud transitions in your RMK10 budget?”
Whether our government is ready or not, cloud usage has been transforming at the local commercial segment aggressively. Some of the local IT hub players like Jaring has seen this as the future for data provisioning. Jaring has launched the industry first cloud computing for public sector market last April. Jaring believes with their attractive grid offering, they expect more agencies will take the first step in moving towards the cloud.
While moving to the cloud creates security uncertainty, Trend Micro has step up and gave prominent assurance that government needs them when they plan to make the move. Partnering cleverly with VMware, the leader in virtualization technology, VMware enables the cloud transformation magic with cost cutting benefits.
Clearly with these 2 giants walking hand in hand together, they are giving confidence for government to think on moving to the cloud. The government decision to move depends on how fast and aggressive Trend Micro and VMware can educate the government to switch!
