Government to set up own cloud computing system

Reported by Charles Arthur, technology editor, guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 27 January 2010 00.05 GMT: "The government has unveiled a sweeping strategy to create its own internal "cloud computing" system – such as that used by Google, Microsoft and Amazon – as part of a radical plan that it claims could save up to £3.2bn a year from an annual bill of at least £16bn."

Note from DT: The issue is not whether to do it or not, anymore, but that it has to be done. The security and reliability issues will be paramount.
