As the world’s largest owner and operator of data centers, the U.S. Government and its agencies spend enormous sums of money to ‘keep the lights on’. But proven innovations such as virtualization, hyperconverged infrastructure and cloud computing have reduced agencies’ dependence on maintaining massive legacy IT systems. Innovation in the Federal IT enterprise is mission-critical to reducing and avoiding costs, enhancing security posture, and simplifying IT infrastructure management. Hyperconverged infrastructure, as one example, is being effectively used by Federal and defense organizations today to realize these benefits, to transform traditional data center operations to deliver enterprise cloud services and value to users, and to optimize their use of public cloud resources.

This webinar will explore government’s approach to transforming Federal data centers to function like an enterprise cloud and the role that public cloud is playing in that endeavor. 

Learning Objectives

• Understand how to shift from data center consolidation to transformation.
• Learn how virtualization and hyperconverged infrastructure is enabling agencies to do more with less IT.
• Delineate techniques to optimize the use of public cloud services to actually reduce IT costs.
