Mayor Yang Luyu said that will the centre will help integrate administrative resources, strengthen fund management, improve government efficiency and information security. It is expected to shorten deployment cycles, more than double work efficiency and enable service standardisation.
The General Office of the State Council of China has issued guidance to encouraged agencies at all levels to source services from the market. The city government has signed an agreement with Inspur Group for the construction of the government cloud computing centre.
In the first phase, 52 agencies will enter the centre, covering more than 1000 servers and networks as well as 300 business applications.
Since 2010, cloud computing has been a part of Jinan city government’s strategic plan for government innovation. As it looks to transition to a service-oriented government, cloud adoption will help the Jinan Municipal Government to strengthen public service functions and innovate public service delivery.
Prior to this, the Jinan government had already been hosting a few government application platforms on its cloud computing centre. With this agreement, the Jinan government will build a unified government cloud computing centre on the existing public information platform.
All non-classified information systems will be relocated to designated machine rooms, and the systems will be centrally hosted, operated and maintained.
