NEW DELHI: In a significant IT initiative, the Railways today launched RailCloud – a virtual server with an inbuilt security system to optimise server usage and faster connectivity.
Cloud computing is the emerging technology for faster and on-demand commensurate deployment of server resources which result in reduced costs.
“Efforts are being made to bring the entire Railway system on integrated digital platform. RailCloud is another step towards digitisation of railways,” Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu said after the launch of RailCloud here.
Developed by rail PSU RailTel at an estimated cost of about Rs 53 crore, RailCloud will pave the way for swifter deployment of applications within 24 hours as compared to conventional time running into weeks and months. (AGENCIES)
