In this day and age, we expect our financial transactions, social networks, cars and even our televisions to operate at lightning fast speeds, enable unlimited connectivity and deliver services at the push of a button. We should expect and receive the same from the services our federal government provides. From interactions with civilian agencies for major life events to enjoying the freedoms made possible by the critical defense functions carried out by our military, citizens should be able to rely on government to provide seamless functionality and ease of use. All of these elements are enabled and supported by a modernized network.

The current government network is approaching the end of its lifecycle, with legacy infrastructure no longer able to support the need for increased IT capacity and bandwidth. The private sector has already been leveraging innovative technologies such as SDN and NFV, demonstrating their potential to simplify network management and accommodate the explosion of apps and devices.
