3. 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 Benefits Key Concerns
 Significant cost reductions  Standards
 Reduced time to capability  Portability
 Increased flexibility  Control/Availability
 Elastic scalability  Security
 Increase service quality  IT Policy
 Increased security  Management /
 Ease of technology refresh Monitoring
 Ease of collaboration  Ecosystem
 Increased efficiency

7. Cloud Computing: Value and
Capabilities
 Time
 Reduce time to deliver/execute mission.
 Increase responsiveness/flexibility/availability.
 Cost
 Optimize cost to deliver/execute mission.
 Optimize cost of ownership (lifecycle cost).
 Increase efficiencies in capital/operational
expenditures.
 Quality
 Achieve environmental improvements.
 Realize experiential improvements.

11. Agency Challenge
 Focus on mission, not technology
 Departments/agencies will use multiple clouds
 Normalized comparison of cloud service provider
(CSP) offerings
 Holistic view for managing and monitoring CSPs
 Avoidance of vendor lock-in
 Realization of both economic and operational value of
cloud computing

17. C&A vs FedRAMP
 Standard Certification & Authorization
 100% of required agency controls
 60-90 days to complete
 $80k-$300K
 Repeat with each new agency: 5 agency cost $400K-
$1.5M
 FedRAMP (290 Controls)
 80% of required agency controls
 60 days to complete
 $65-$240K
 Agency specific controls for new implementations: 5
agency cost $65K-$365K

23. Cloud Service Brokerage

24. Federal CSB Challenges
 FISMA
 FEDRAMP
 Federal Identification/Authorization
 Federal Acquisition Regulations
 New Acquisition Models

25. 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
