Is this a Google try to regain the normalcy relationship with Govt after some tuffs regarding the much hyped privacy issues??
Google Apps for Government is, according to Google, the first cloud computing app suite to receive the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) certification. This will make it easier for agencies or groups to evaluate and adopt Google Apps.
It aimed at government employees needs more than just certification, which is why Google notes in its blog post that Gmail and Google Calendar data will be segregated into data centers marked exclusively for government users in the continental U.S.
This is a big step for Google and having a formal government offering will certainly make the company more visible in the space. Google’s competitors haven’t been sitting idle.
