Issues in CLOUD deployment
• Consolidation of servers in SDC from departments and agencies
• Migration of applications for cloud environment
•Present infrastructure operator?
• SW Licences
• Support for Cloud computing features.
• Multi tenancy-Shared database
• interoperability between states SDC
• Migration to new framework, like Grails, will provide additional cloud
benefits leading to creation of SW components (Apps store concept)
