Where Cloud Computing Meets Mission: Maximizing the Cloud's Potential


In the coming fiscal year, the White House expects the federal government to spend some $7.5 billion on provisioned services like cloud computing. Four years removed from the unveiling of the Cloud First strategy, the question today isn't whether agencies will transition services and critical systems to cloud, it's when. Maximizing investment in the cloud requires a strategy that factors in risk, security, cost, agility, and a hard assessment of what cloud computing will really do for the mission.

Watch the session videos below to hear success stories and use cases of agencies already deploying successful cloud computing strategies, and learn about the various risks and rewards of moving services and mission critical applications to the cloud.
