Modernizing IT Through Unified Control

State, local government, and educational institutions are facing growing demands to modernize IT infrastructure, control escalating virtualization costs, and implement AI securely within strict budget and compliance frameworks.

As “the cloud” has become a fundamental part of IT operations, many state and local agencies actually have moved to a that tailors data, apps and storage to the conditions that provide the security, scalability and cost controls needed to optimize performance.

The challenge becomes maintaining visibility and access across hybrid cloud environments – using public cloud, private cloud, even on-prem infrastructure – through one governed control plane. Providing unified control allows streamlined provisioning and automation across VMs, containers, clouds, and AI-era infrastructure, so organizations can modernize faster, reduce costs, and avoid vendor lock-in.

Learning Objectives:

• Review your agency’s IT environment to determine whether it is a hybrid and, if so, what you have to do to ensure visibility and security across the entire space
• Outline the steps to implement a single control plane, where it will replace existing tools and what has been insufficiently visible to date
• Establish metrics that can evaluate performance and automation requirements for the agency’s entire hybrid environment, including cost savings
