Cloud computing is believed to be the core of next IT revolution and the global focus in the next three to five years. The concept refers to the use and access of multiple server-based computational resources via a digital network, or a cloud, and cloud users may access the server resources by using a computer, netbook, pad computer, smart phone, or other devices. The cloud resources are unlimited and available at any time according to your needs. Featuring super high computing capacities, low cost, and high-level security, cloud computing can play a significant role in the field of e-government information sharing.
Suzhou Industrial Park launched its E-Administration Data Center in 2005, managed and maintained by SIP Computer & IT Center, and has built an efficient and secured e-administration private cloud.

A Training Session
SIP authorities held another theme training session on learning from Singapore during June 27 through July 6 and the main topic this time was the information construction in the Garden City. The instructors reviewed the history and philosophy of Singaporean information technology and e-administration.

In order to improve governance efficiency and competitiveness, more and more countries turn to e-administration system as a solution.
