UK Government security measure: Incident Levels (IL) ~80% of UK Central Government services </= IL3 Current UK Central Government is served by a complex diversity of data centres, predominantly small and inefficient. Secure multi-tenanted data centres simultaneously servicing Government, Enterprise & Consumer markets would present a very attractive IaaS/PaaS investment proposition for the private sector

Cutting through the jungle of Standards’, to map the current EU standards landscape, and work to seek rationalisation against the overriding objective of delivering ‘Security, Reliability and Trust’ in the operation of the Cloud; • 2. Creating a framework of ‘safe and fair’ contract terms in Europe through an open stakeholder driven process; • 3. Creating an European Public Sector Partnership to identify standard services that could be exploited across Europe for better economics of service delivery.
