Cloud computing, in this conference context is internet-based computing, where organisational information, software and hardware is stored in, and accessed from external data centres. Key features of cloud computing include potential cost savings, flexibility and reliability. Perceived issues around the technology include the environmental impact, the costs of migration to the cloud, the challenges posed to existing security measures and data protection legislation.
A final session discusses how Scotland can position itself as a cloud host and will focus on the following: What are the economic benefits of cloud computing? How can Scotland become a leader in this new approach to ICT? What are the barriers to this emerging industry in Scotland?
