Conceptualised View on Can Cloud Computing Improve the Rescue Services in Finland?

Abstract

The Rescue Services in Finland have a significant problem of communication with other authorities who also participate in the rescue process. The greatest challenge is a lack of shared programs, applications or any other e-services which they can use to communicate with each other. The cloud computing might be the answer for this problem. There are several solutions and guidelines available. This paper explores which cloud computing deployment modeland cloud service model could be suitable to address the problem. Further study also conducted on cloud services provided by The Public Authority Network (VIRVE) in Finland. The paper also presents current and future VIRVE cloud services status.
