IDC September 2008
Cloud Computing Not a new technology but a new approach in the provisioning and
consumption of information technology A services oriented architecture (SOA) implemented typically on a
virtualized infrastructure (compute, storage, networks) using commodity components coupled with highly automated controls enable the five essential characteristics of cloud computing.
Key Concerns Standards Portability Control/Availability Security IT Policy Management /
Monitoring Ecosystem
Key Benefits Significant cost reductions Reduced time to capability Increased flexibility Elastic scalability Increase service quality Increased security Ease of technology refresh Ease of collaboration Increased efficiency

Federal CSB Challenges FISMA FEDRAMP Federal Identification/Authorization Federal Acquisition Regulations New Acquisition Models
Summary Federal government is rapidly
adopting cloud computing Not a new technology but a new
business model Can provide enhanced mission
capabilities at reduced cost FedRAMP in place soon to govern
security Cloud Service Brokerage will
augment traditional Federal System Integrators
