AGIMO issues invitation to cloud party
New guidelines and panel fling feds forward to the fluff
Ensure Ease of Recovery with Asigra’s Agentless Software
The Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) has made two significant cloud-related announcements.
The most significant is a new Approach to Market process for would-be-providers of cloud services to Australia’s federal government.
The prize for such providers is a place on the “Data Centre as a Service (DCaaS) Multi Use List for Cloud, Cloud-Like and managed computing services”. That makes the full acronym DCaaSMULfCCLaMCS, which rolls off the tongue like a brick.
Those who pass through the Approach to Market approach unscathed will emerge as an approved supplier of either PaaS, SaaS or IaaS to federal government agencies.
A place on that list could also mean the chance to help power what AGIMO has taken to calling a “Community Cloud”, an arrangement whereby agencies share a private cloud. The Office has also issued final guidance explaining just how agencies should construct and govern this sort of thing, available here. ®
