Nebula Cloud By NASA

Nebula is a Cloud Computing initiative developed by NASA Ames Research Center. It is a based of multiple Open Source components which include Eucalyptus an Open Source clone of Amazon AWS, LUSTRE clustering file system developed by SUN, Django Python web application framework, SOLR Search. The full architecture is explained in detailed on their website.

It would a great challenge to migrate State Government Infrastructure to Nebula or even implement similar Private Cloud Network for all the State Agencies. The biggest decision to be made is whether to integrate the multiple state departments Vertically as per the business processes like Employee/Workforce Management, Public Records, Infrastructure Management, Vendor Management, Customer Management, RFP Management  etc, into a single cloud using a SaaS based application as per their vertical or to push all the applications for each individual State in to their own Private Cloud forming a Network connecting Private Cloud of each State.

The adoption of Cloud Computing by the Govt. is the most challenging  as the worlds largest systems will be going a major shift. The transition of this phase would lead us to the next big technology change in the world and even more innovative contributions from the industry.
