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

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.
IT spend = USD 25 Bn. (2011)

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.
IT spend = USD 5 Bn. (2011)
IT spend = USD 112 Bn. (2011)
� 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.
