“As the white paper authors
point out, Twitter and Second Life have been used in innovative
ways to deal with a variety of crises, albeit by teenagers and
other local citizens. A trust cloud would fit somewhere between
such wide open social networks and closed classified systems.”

“…governments are
hesitant to adapt to cloud computing for security reasons and
strict procurement policies that leave out SaaS cloud services.
Swan Island is hoping to be the platform for this sector by
offering high-trust, heavily securitized clouds. Its cloud
platform, TIES, is hoping to take government data
infrastructures into cloud by offering a more agile platform
that allows secure and authenticated virtualization of all
data.”
