You are right, I should expand the series to include a much broader view of the data center industry.

I think that virtualization and cloud computing is a very good potential alternative to in-sourcing data management, so reading through the Australian govt initiatives and policies will be good background for the larger issue.

There is a similar push by government to consolidate and potentially outsource data centre requirements at both a state and federal level in Australia. See, for example, this article from yesterday: http://www.australianit.news.com.au/story/0,25197,26268194-15306,00.html
