The Federal Cloud Computing Initiative (FCCI) will deliver improvements in federal IT, but before it does so agencies must first overcome a number of key challenges. Chief among them is security. To address this issue, the FedRAMP program is providing a framework for agencies to test and certify cloud computing vendors – but what will remain the responsibility of the agency? With shrinking budgets and growing IT needs, the federal government has identified data center consolidation as a top priority. Launched in February 2010, the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI) seeks to deliver on the promise of a more integrated IT infrastructure. With inventory complete and initial consolidation plans submitted, agencies are now preparing for the next steps. Some critical concerns facing agency compliance include the challenges of governance, culture, and funding.
