Www.cloud4slg.org. Cloud Computing. Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

State government is a veritable data engine creating vast amounts of data from a vast number of sources. That data is being used to comply with regulations; uncover fraud, waste and abuse; and ultimately improve the lives of citizens. The sky is the limit in terms future data generation based on the growth in mobile applications, sensors, cloud services and the growing public private partnerships that must be monitored for performance and service levels, according to NASCIO’s latest in its series of issue briefs on analytics - “Is Big Data a Big Deal?”
In this issue brief, the universe of “big data” will be explored in order to: Create a foundation preliminary to further description and exploration in future briefs, conference sessions and innovations forums.

The Commission on the Leadership Opportunity in U.S. Deployment of the Cloud – State and Local Government, or CLOUD2/SLG Commission, will be chaired by Tarkan Maner, president and CEO of Wyse Technology. The vice-chairs are David L. Cohn, program director of Smarter Cloud at the IBM T.J.

Pittsburgh Finishes Google Apps; CIO Howard Stern Leaves. Pittsburgh has finished migrating its 3,000 city employees to Google Apps in a move that officials said Wednesday will reduce costs and give users 500 times more storage capacity than before.
The four-month-long project was finished on time and on budget, said Pittsburgh CIO Howard A. Stern. The city will pay approximately $170,000 annually in user and support costs for the company’s email and productivity suite, in addition to $200,000 in one-time implementation costs. The city said it expects to save 25 percent annually compared to Pittsburgh’s previous email solution, Microsoft Exchange. Other benefits, officials said, are users will have 25 gigabytes of storage and access to integrated instant messaging. The enterprise e-mail migration covers approximately 1,500 law enforcement users, including the Pittsburgh Police Department.
