GDP surge to fuel Globe growth

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is encouraging government institutions to use cloud applications over traditional information technology (IT) systems, as it unveiled a new online service called GovCloud, or government cloud, which will enable government agencies to use secure online applications for their various computing requirements.

“With the GovCloud, agencies can maximize their resources and significantly reduce operating costs as they only use server resources when they need it, and when server load is high they can be allocated additional resources almost instantly,” said Louis Casambre, DOST-sInformation and Communications Technology Office undersecretary.
