Digital Marketing Agency, Hewlett-Packard is to build government clouds for
European regions after being chosen as the principal IT partner of the STORM
Clouds—a European Commission project which will set up frameworks for the
provision of cloud-based services for regional governments.
The project is intended to create a common framework for
cloud-based government services that can then be exported across country borders.
Xavier Poisson-Gouyou Beauchamps, vice president of
cloud computing EMEA at HP said: “Europe must ensure that new IT devices,
applications, data repositories and services interact seamlessly anywhere –
just like the Internet.”
He added: “This project aims to make collaboration
between public authorities easier and more cost effective through the sharing
and re-use of common platforms, components and infrastructures. As a result,
municipalities across the EU will take a step closer to becoming truly ‘smart
cities’.”
