The Influence of Open Source Solutions on Data Center Consolidation and Cloud Growth

This IDC Government Insights web conference will look at how open source software is influencing government data center consolidation. Federal agencies have been mandated to consolidate data centers, and both government IT managers and commercial systems integrators (SIs) are focusing on the selection of open source solutions and open software stacks to help ease this transition. With federal investment, centralized open source solution stacks have already emerged at government sites, eliminating many software license fees and enabling a window of opportunity for open source to become a powerful platform for datacenter consolidation.

Join IDC Government Insights analysts Shawn McCarthy and Thom Rubel as they examine the multiple ways major systems integrators and IT services companies are now helping to fuel growth in U.S. Federal government open source solutions, and the effect that is having on government procurement managers and their adoption of cloud-based solutions.

The web conference will feature this recent IDC Government Insights report: Technology Selection: Open Source Solutions Will Drive Datacenter Consolidation and Cloud Growth (Document # GI225382).
