The cloud computing model can be effectively and efficiently used to conduct advanced government research.

I’d like to say it a little more bluntly. If CIOs don’t get ready, manage fears and manage their risk, they will get run over by this disruptive technology. Your organization is doing it anyway – without you! So do something! You don’t have to move your entire enterprise into the cloud, just take the first step and look at some appropriate datasets. This doesn’t have to be an all or none decision.

- Linda Cureton, CIO NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

•Cloud computing technology and business models may be useful in quickly providing inexpensive and valuable software applications and information to the public.
