Numbers in Detail
5
200K+ servers across PS
10,000+ distinct applications
No aggregation of application demand
No data mobility between departments
130+ Data Centres in central Government
£16.9 bn approximate ICT spend per annum.
Less than 10% of servers are fully virtualised.
Potential “G-Cloud” benefit 30% of annual costs.
Thousands of DC, and comms rooms across public sector
Private sector achieves 60% cost reduction through Cloud
90,000 servers within central government running at <10% utilisation
Phase 1 of the G-Cloud Programme
Completed in the Summer of 2009
Identified 130 plus data centres operating in Central Government alone.
Identified potentially 8,000 additional comms rooms hosting serving equipment.
Review of Data Centre quality, suitability and long term viability indicated that many facilities were below minimum standards.
Identified that server utilisation was running at <7%

Overall recommendation was that considerable opportunities for cost savings and efficiencies existed from a programme of Data Centre Consolidation.
Conclusion
Phase 2 G-Cloud Programme
Ran October 2009 – May 2010
Engaged wider group of Civil Servants, Industry Volunteers, and Small consultant group – total 100 staff.
Produced detail reports in 8 Areas which were published in February 2011.

Programme Governance
G-Cloud Programme Board Established
Andy Nelson, CIO of MOJ as Chair
John Suffolk, Government CIO and SRO.
Mixture of CIO’s from Local, central and industry participated on the Board
Programme board fed into CIO Council and CTO Council.

The G-Cloud Vision
9
“The G-Cloud brand provides confidence in ICT services you can trust – reliability and security,
value for money.”
“Data Centre Consolidation: Delivering Public Sector ICT services from the optimum number of high performing, energy-efficient, resilient, and
cost-effective”
“The Application Store for Government- the online marketplace for Public Sector ICT Services.”
Goals for the Programme
10
• Reduce
ICT costs,
Supplier lock-in,
Carbon footprint
• Create agility in service provision
• Create open, vibrant & competitive marketplace
• Create a principle of application sharing and re-use
• Adopt virtualised and cloud based services as the default choice for new applications.
Government ICT Strategy – March 2011
11
Other Key Strategies to be aware of:
•Public Sector Network
•The Open Source Strategy
•The Open Standard Strategy
•Engagement of SME’s in Public Sector work.
•Common Desktop.
The G-Cloud Vision
12
What is the Application Store (ASG)?
13
The ASG will be the online ICT Marketplace for the Public Sector
“Find IT, build IT, run IT, share IT”
Services in the Store will include:
G-Cloud Certified ICT Applications and
solutions
Other ICT Services; PSN, Hardware,
Common Desktop, Service Management etc
Access to a development toolkit
There will be a Certified Zone and an Open Zone• Services in the Certified Zone will have been "pre-procured”• Innovation encouraged in the Open Zone
Products available in a standardised, simple and low cost way whilst maintaining legal compliance.
Price and Performance Rating will be visible for comparison, promoting competition and service excellence.
You can search or advertise for new applications and services.
Services at “Latest Best Price”
14
How will the ASG work?
Today there are hundreds of public sector data centres running to different standards;- some at capacity limits, others with unused space.
15
Data Centre Consolidation
Goals• Reduce to an optimum number of modern, resilient, efficient
and secure data centres that may also act as infrastructure for the G-Cloud.
• We want to maximise the amount of consolidation to help the Public Sector achieve savings.
• Migrate to a highly virtualised environment – delivering:
• efficient server utilisation• Reduced footprint• Reduced power and cooling requirements• Supports green agenda
Introduction to Foundation Delivery Partners
Foundation Delivery Partners (FDPs) will be “Public Sector bodies who have volunteered to build the initial G-Cloud services”
Services being Considered:
• Web Hosting and Content Management
• Infrastructure as a Service
• Public Cloud Services
• Collaboration Tools
• Secure Email

17
Re-affirmed in the new ICT Strategy
Implementation plan to be published within 6 months.
Delivery moved out of the Cabinet Office to
MOJ.
Andy Nelson to be SRO.
FDP’s work to continue.
G-Cloud Latest
Three Major Challenges
18
• The Commercial Constructs to enable Cloud Like Procurement
• The Information Assurance Guidelines and Regime to allow Cloud Like Deployment
• The Cultural commitment to adopt the new approach involving “Cloud-like” sharing and re-use.
The Roadmap to Cloud
• Driving the Agenda
• Cabinet Office/MOJ lead to resource and build G-Cloud Implementation plan by Sept 2011.
• Creating Cloud Friendly Commercials
• ERG (formerly OGC) address commercial constructs and deliver key generic frameworks to meet needs of IaaS, PaaS and SaaS
• Information Assurance
• CESG produce wide ranging guidelines that enable SIRO’s to approached shared virtualised platforms and full cloud deployments with a consistent approach.
• Multi-Impact level Virtualised clusters become approved.
19
The Roadmap to Cloud
• Virtualisation
• Public Sector Bodies fully implement virtualisation within their existing environments,
• extending the life of existing infrastructure
• Creating a stepping stone to later full cloud.
• Utility Compute Power
• Standardised cloud Test and Development environments, such as Vmware Foundry, become the norm for IL1-3.
• Public cloud delivers IL0-IL1
• Utility Applications
• Public sector utility services become widely available: Huddle, Zimbra (both open source) within secure boundaries.
