4 Meghraj the GI Cloud Cloud.gov.in GI Cloud - Government of India s cloud computing environment that will be used by government departments and agencies at the centre and states Cloud computing environment at a national level A common repository of cloud - based infrastructure resources and applications available on a sharable basis.

5 GI Cloud Policy All government clouds to follow the standards and guidelines set by Govt. of India At the time of conceptualization of any new Mission Mode Project (MMP) or other government project the existing services (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) of GI Cloud to be evaluated first for usage All new applications to be cloud ready Source : GI Cloud Strategic Direction Paper:

6 Infrastructure (Current) Large National Data Centers (NDC) at 4 locations in India State Data Centers (SDC)s in 21 states of India are operational, running large e-governance applications Ten of these SDCs utilization is more than 50% Network - Existing network infrastructure includes SWAN, NKN and NOFN.

10 Unique Identification Authority Govt. has already collected biometric and demographic information of about 20 million people Enrollment to include 600 million people, and each person registered will have an estimated 5 MB of data. The data center that will hold the information will have 4 terabytes of data coming into it every day during peak enrollment periods Makes it about the biggest non-commercial datacenter in the world.

24 Challenges ASREN Workshop on Clouds Education, for Research and Education, Italy Italy

25 [5] Asia Cloud Computing Association Report 2014

26 Main challenges Internet bandwidth & penetration limited The lowest in data centre risk ranking Cloud computing absorption is only at two per cent* Reasons Outdated thought process of businesses, which still look at their IT only for , MS Office, financial accounting and HR support* Multi lingual computing is still a challenge Inadequate apps & Content Techno Legal issues No dedicated privacy law or data protection law in India *Source : Cloud computing absorption only 2% in India - A.S. Rajagopal on the Hindu Business Line May 2, 2014

27 Conclusion Cloud Awareness & willingness for adoption is increasing Government has recognized its importance Policy is laid out Initial efforts are encouraging National Cloud Initiative (Meghraj) Huge business potential Companies willing to expand base Challenges remain Infrastructure front Mindset of users Evolving standards 27
