I will be speaking at the "Open Group San Diego Conference" on January 30th. My session will be entitled "Cloud Reservoirs: a practical cloud consumption model for the federal government". Here's a brief summary of this session:
While the Cloud computing buzz continues to take the lion’s share of the federal government visions, strategies, and plans, real adoption is still lacking. Compliance program such as FedRAMP and various GSA or agency level BPAs have increased confidence and made the cloud more attainable. But much of the current cloud workloads are based on development and testing environments, low hanging fruits like online productivity, or smaller greenfield projects. Meanwhile, enterprise and mission workloads are still lagging behind.
One of the problems prohibiting adoption is the need for a good structure to ensure flexibility in accessing various cloud services while reducing risks and ensuring budget predictability.
In this session you will learn about an innovative way for structuring a cloud consumption model that allows government agencies to capitalize on the value and premise of cloud computing while mitigating the risks of budget unpredictability.
