The document discusses spatial data infrastructures (SDIs) and the potential advantages and disadvantages of using cloud computing for SDIs. Some key points:
- An SDI is a framework of spatial data, metadata, users and tools that allow for efficient and flexible use of spatial data.
- Cloud computing provides on-demand access to configurable computing resources over a network. There are different service and deployment models.
- Potential advantages of cloud computing for SDIs include scalability, pay-as-you-go costs, and not needing dedicated servers. However, organizations need to keep control of important components and ensure security and privacy.
- Switzerland's Federal Office of Topography uses an infrastructure

Cloud Computing Definition NIST January 2011 „ Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. “

Community cloud The cloud infrastructure is shared by several organizations and supports a specific community that has shared concerns. Public cloud The cloud infrastructure is made available to the general public and is owned by an organization selling cloud services. Hybrid cloud The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more clouds.
