I would believe this is a very broad issue to discuss. I would believe this may not be the solution to cyber security, I would think that localized servers have a better chance of being monitored compared to remote cloud computers. Unless this move means there is no need to invest in that facility and have it outsourced. But then a breach in security and 3rd party involvement could be a huge risk to take that could significantly be a big blow to privacy if anything goes wrong.

There are so many angles we can look at for this discussion. Its a very complex setup with so many moving parts.. many articles can be written about this and commentaries by different authors on various different topics in relation to specifically this.

Hi i-Netters, 
This is interesting even to our public services colleagues....
Estonia is planning to upload all of its government data to the cloud so that the country can be run from abroad if necessary.
