3 Enablers for Cloud Developments High speed and high capacity networks 2000 : 56 Kbps 2012 : 100 Mbps 40 Gbps Proliferation of high-performance mobile devices Number of mobile users in Hong Kong capable of gaining access to mobile data services (2.5G/3G/4G) ~9M* Volume of mobile data usage ~5,800 TB* (equivalent to ~640 MB per user) Hardware Virtualization & Auto Scaling SOA & Web Services * In June

4 Business Case for Cloud Adoption High Speed Network & Mobile Access Virtualization & Auto-Scaling Context-aware Apps More Userfriendly Services Agility of Service Economy of Scale SOA & Web Services Service Integration & Sharing 4

5 Government Cloud Computing Strategy Government internal e-government services Public IT industry Departmental Cloud New generation Government data centre In-house Private Cloud Outsourced Private Cloud Public Cloud SME Cloud Promote the knowledge exchange of Hong Kong and Mainland experts, develop cloud computing standards and best practices 5

6 Government Cloud Roadmap 6

7 Central Computer Centre Virtualized Infrastructure Objectives: Reducing the lead time to provide computing resources Cost savings in providing computing resources Enabling green computing & sustainable development Optimizing the capacity to cater for new demands Achievements: Greatly reduce the time required to provide computing resources from 10 weeks to 5 days Save 20-30% of the cost of computing resources Reduce 10-40% of the energy consumption Save 50% of the required floor space 7

8 Government Cloud (GovCloud) Outsourcing the provision of Infrastructure-as-a-Service Support shared e-government services, for use by all bureaux and departments (e.g. Procurement, Human Resource Management, Collaborative Working, Recordkeeping, etc.) Programme Provide services incrementally to B/Ds from the latter part of 2013 Support around 30,000 users Approved funding of HK$242 million Cost contribution from bureaux and departments Achieving sustainable development 8

9 Cloud-enabled EGIS Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for the use by bureaux and departments to develop e-government services Shared services: e-payment, messaging & , authentication, etc. Support 100 new e-government Services Progressive roll-out from mid-2013 to 2015 Approved funding of HK$135 million 9

10 Government Public Cloud Services Maintain a catalogue of public cloud service providers for nonsensitive applications and data Unify service standards, improve procurement efficiency 40 service providers providing 300+ public cloud services Productivity Apps Business Apps Social Media Apps Cloud IT services Office tools, document / content management, collaboration / meeting , calendar, and tasks management Photo, video hosting and sharing Data storage backup / restore 10 10

15 Lessons Learnt (1 of 3) Revolution vs Evolution Cloud can bring substantial changes to organizations in running their businesses, and requires revolutionary mindset in planning. Cloud journey needs to take evolutionary steps in implementation. 15

16 Lessons Learnt (2 of 3) Risk Assessment Required Physical Access Control Management Service Level / Contract Management Resilient System Design Resilient Service Offerings Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Business Continuity & Cloud Exit Plan Performance Monitoring Data Protection Traditional System Cloud Service Auto-scaling of Resources Data Sovereignty Integration of Systems Interoperability of Services 16

17 Lessons Learnt (3 of 3) Close Communication and Collaboration is Important Industry and technologies are developing rapidly More and more external parties (or partners) are involved 17
