Salesforce disses UK government cloud efforts, CEO cites the US
The cloud based services provider Salesforce has slammed the UK government claiming that the government is being slow in adopting a public network cloud and also being shady by ‘hiding behind their private cloud’, where as the US government has not.
This comes from Salesforce’s CEO Marc Benioff, who speaking during the Cloudforce event in London, said;
“The UK government needs to get aggressive about Cloud services. The UK is way behind in this – and way too much into virtualisation and the G-Cloud, which is a big virtual machine that has not been executed well. Too much cost has gone into running too many data centres,” and further added “It’s all about cost reduction. The US has 3500 data centres with single digit utlilisation rates. It’s the same in the UK – single digit utilisation. That is not OK. It’s costing them a fortune.”
