DOD cloud strategy points to 'multi-vendor' future, with centralized oversight

摘要

The Defense Department will pursue a computing environment featuring different types of clouds and multiple vendors, but the chief information officer's role as a central governing authority will be key to reaching an "optimized" environment, according to an overview of the Pentagon's cloud strategy. The objective of the cloud strategy is a "department-wide enterprise cloud computing ecosystem that allows us to revolutionize how we interact with technology every day," according to the overview obtained by Inside Defense. The overview is attached to an Aug. 17 memo sent to department leaders by DOD Chief Information Officer Dana Deasy.
