Cloud Exchange 2025

As agencies expand the depth and breadth of their cloud use, civilian and defense IT teams are focused on managing cloud services as an integrated part of their full enterprise infrastructure.

It just makes sense given that government agencies are implementing more cloud-native technologies, piloting and scaling the latest artificial intelligence capabilities, facing increased cybersecurity demands and seeking to leverage data quickly – and at the edge.

Modernization becomes paramount to access data securely in real time and support cross-agency and cross-government collaboration. At the same time, agencies are facing pressure to reduce costs through consolidation. This is why understanding total cost of ownership is more important than ever.

With June being the sixth anniversary of the Cloud Smart strategy, it’s the ideal time to highlight how agencies are using cloud, the ways they are evaluating TCO and where they hope to go next.

We hope you will join Federal News Network over two afternoons as our tech-savvy editorial team sits down with federal and industry leaders in a series of sessions on all things cloud.
