US CIO Tony Scott recently compared the practice of storing data exclusively on premise to hiding cash in a mattress rather than keeping it in a bank. Scott cited Microsoft along with a few others as offering better security than other options. A cloud platform is built upon foundational principles such as security, compliance, openness and flexibility. This webinar will discuss how cloud computing is providing the government with ways to fuel...

The federal government is projected to spend $7.7 billion on private cloud solutions by 2017, a nearly $6 billion increase from the projected $1.7 billion spent in 2014. This webinar will discuss government's challenges and concerns when planning a cloud deployment from security, software development, managing virtualization, and load balancing. The latest trends in implementing cloud solutions including the use of open source will also be add...

In a world of shrinking budgets and unparalleled growth in data, agency network infrastructures that were put in place 20 years ago are inadequate to meet today’s demands. The New IP represents a change in the network from a physical to a virtual entity, and prepares public sector IT environments for the future. Using timely research conducted by surveying government technology leaders coupled with public sector insights, this session wi...

According to International Data Corporation (IDC), data centers need a New IP network infrastructure to support the latest evolutionary stage of IT, building on the prominence of the cloud, mobility, social media, and data analytics. The New IP is a modern approach to the network that includes open standards, Ethernet fabrics, software-defined networking, high level orchestration tools and a user centric application delivery focus. The way the...

How are government agencies buying cloud computing capability with an eye toward data governance? The cloud touts limitless possibilities, but CIOs are putting in place techniques to maintain control of their data and avoid vendor lock-in. As a result, data stewardship has become increasingly complex with the need to manage and access data across the cloud. This panel will focus on the importance of data governance when creating cloud requirem...
