For more than a decade, federal agencies have deployed virtualization technologies to deliver greater service levels to their programs and maximize utilization of IT resources in data centers. Now, many agencies are bringing converged infrastructures – which combine computing, storage and networking in a single package – into these virtualized environments to simplify IT management and reduce costs.
At the same time, federal managers are wondering how they can mitigate risks in these increasingly multi-tenant environments and utilize FedRAMPcompliant technologies to successfully forge a path toward the cloud. In this industry perspective, GovLoop has partnered with Merlin International, NetApp and HyTrust to share the value of secure converged infrastructures in government.
