Significant Statistics


IT Equipment and Cooling systems contribute to around 75% of a Data Center’s energy consumption. EYP Missions Critical Facilities Inc., New York

Traditionally, 89% of IT budgets allocated to hardware and maintenance, while only 11% is invested in new product initiatives Microsoft

Server utilization is around 10 to 25 percent on an average across all industriesMark E. Stumm, nlyte Software

Indian data center capacity is poised to touch 6.6 million square feet by 2016Gartner

Everyday, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data, so much that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone. IBM

Central Government provides a unified IaaS and/or PaaS

solution with each state having customized state applications

developed and run on it.

SDC transform to a P2V2C Model: Multiple cloud centers

integrated to satisfy data and compute needs of all states

Resource sharing with PSUs to benefit them of access to

better technology facilities and improve the scope for

nationwide data integration

Hosting of only sensitive applications at internal data centers

and outsourcing of peripheral applications on a private player

hosted model

Case Scenarios for Fruitful Adoption

Government is the 3rd biggest buyer of Managed Services

Captive Managed Services

Third Party Managed Services

Q2 FY12 Revenues: INR 7069 Cr.

Q2 FY12 Revenues: INR 601 Cr.

Expected to contribute

14% of the overall

captive managed

services market in FY12

With a share of 12.6%,

various smaller Govt.

projects are migrating

towards a Hosted Model

10

Initiatives in the right direction

Government to provide subsidised cloud computing to SMEs to boost ICT

adoption and eventually translate into financial growth of the segment

J& K Government hosts servers at Madhya Pradesh SDC and issues birth,

death certificates and trade licenses

NTP policy aims at formulating policies on cloud services hereby

diminishing the ambiguities which plagued it and acted as a chief restraint

for the market

To make best use of available virtualized resources, the Government of

Kerala has initiated testing for cloud computing solutions

11

Challenges acting as restraints to adoption

● Lack of IT centralization

● Lack of multi-tenancy on legacy systems

● Non-Interoperability of systems

● Security, auditing and logging

● Regulatory compliance

● Data recovery

● Low IT maturity and high resistance to

change

● Multiplicity of deployment agencies

● Longer procurement cycle

Data Centre Improvements by different Governments

Source: State of Public Sector Cloud Computing- US Federal CIO Report, Frost & Sullivan analysis.

IT spend = USD 564 Bn. (2011)

� In Feb 2010, the Federal CIO issued data center consolidation guidance program. The guidance

directed agencies to consider agency data center performance and utilization metrics, energy

efficiency use data, physical facility, operational cost and asset information, best practices, open

standards, and security.

� Also the Federal CIO mandates every department in every state needs to have atleast two state

applications on the cloud.

� New ICT strategy to focus on data center consolidation and IT centralization with a cloud-based

architecture. Plans to reduce the count of government owned data centers from 220 to 9-12

facilities.

� Cloud computing should account for half of central government's new ICT spending by the end of

2015.

Data Centre Improvements by different Governments

� Australian government spends around USD 850 million per annum on it’s 30,000 sq. meter data

center facilties. To curtail this expenditure, Australian Government Data Centre Strategy 2010-

2025 has been proposed.

� Data centre requirements will be planned, procured and managed on a whole-of-government basis.

Data centre facilities and services will be available via a whole-of-government panel.



� Cloud City being built at Hebei Province in partnership with IBM, is expected to achieve completion

by 2015. The entire complex will cover some 6.2 million square feet, with the initial data center space

accounting for approximately 6,46,000 square feet.

� One of the biggest adopters of cloud in the APAC region.
