Session 3:
How to Take Advantage of Cloud Computing Today
The current administration is embracing Cloud Computing as a means to deliver common government-wide technology related services in a more efficient and cost effective manner. The Cloud Computing journey is moving forward at a rapid pace. Many pilot projects are underway with the goal of implementing multiple government-wide cloud services within the next year. GSA claims the annual cost of maintaining USA.gov in the cloud is $800,000 compared with $2,500,000 before the move to the cloud.
Cloud Computing offers unparalleled scalability, increased performance, reliability and agility and is an excellent foundation for IT continuity of operations. Recent data center technology innovations are delivering improved services for less money. This new model is the foundation for cloud computing. Now is an excellent time for your agency or department to begin to realize the benefits of Cloud Computing.
