The government is offering a new model of cloud computing services (including IaaS, PaaS and SaaS) to the users through 'GI Cloud' coined as MeghRaj. The focus of MeghRaj is to evolve a strategy and implement various components to ensure proliferation of cloud in government vertical through private cloud players.
The aim of the cloud policy is to realize a comprehensive vision of government private cloud environment available for use by central and state government departments, districts and municipalities to accelerate ICT-enabled service improvements and also provide flexibility in terms of choice of technology.
DeitY proposes accreditation of the cloud service offerings of private service providers so that end-user departments can leverage in addition to the National Cloud services offered by NIC for e-governance solutions. The cloud services, offered under National Cloud as well as the accredited private cloud service providers, will be published through a GI Cloud Services directory for use by government departments or agencies both at the centre as well as states.
