CLOUD COMPUTING
Navigating through the security and compliance of virtualization and the public sector cloud can be daunting. Questions like, “What is cloud?” and “How can I plan and implement cloud solutions in my environment?” are still unanswered for most agencies.
As cloud computing becomes established as a powerful way to implement IT infrastructures, open source technologies are enabling the foundation for a secure, interoperable ecosystem to meet agency enterprise computing needs.

What is the Open Source Cloud?
The open source cloud provides hosted, on-demand, managed resources available as a web service to government agencies. Internally accessible servers, bandwidth, and storage allow you to scale your resources up and down as your needs change, without upfront investment in hardware or software.
When you run servers in the cloud, you
have complete access to the server via secure network interfaces and can perform any configuration, management, or development tasks you would normally perform on a remotely accessible server.
With open source solutions, you can easily deploy cloud infrastructures in highly available, secure, and cost-effective configurations for both on-premise and off-premise cloud deployments.
Cloud deployment doesn’t need to be confusing. Through open source solutions, you can provide your agency with the industry’s only fully virtualized, standards-based enterprise cloud computing service platform. |
Many agencies are already implementing this new technology. We can help you stay ahead of the curve with all the resources you need to implement your agency’s cloud foundation. |
