"The Internet IS cloud computing," according to a holiday-time broadcast on National Public Radio. The program, called 'Will Cloud Computing Work in the White House' aired December 21 on NPR's All Things Considered and involved NPR's Andrea Seabrook discussing with security and technology experts how the White House
computers should run under incoming President Barack Obama.
The program focused on how cloud computing technology can potentially be used to improve government services - a much discussed topic as the new administration moves into the White House.
Experts consulted included Google's Vint Cerf (a.k.a.'The Father of the Internet') and Dataline's expert on Cloud Computing Security,
Kevin Jackson. Jackson discussed how cloud computing can make data and computing more secure than traditional systems.
Cloud computing would also improve collaboration, an area that government is particularly bad at, the experts said.
Cerf's view was that that cloud computing would also be a good paradigm for the new administration in helping achieve the new openness that has been championed.
