3 Current DoD IT Environment Hundreds of sub optimal data centers and networks incur unnecessary costs Limited interoperability reduces information sharing and collaboration on mission threats Increasing demand for new technology on rapidly evolving devices IT Programs average 81 Months* Cannot rapidly and efficiently field new technology to meet warfighter needs 5/2/2012 Cybersecurity vulnerabilities threaten to exploit classified information and endanger mission success Current IT delivery process hinders our ability to take advantage of new commercial technology * Source: Defense Science Board 3

4 Reducing Overall Costs In August 2010, the Secretary of Defense directed the consolidation of IT infrastructure to deliver efficiencies, to improve effectiveness, and to enhance cyber security. In partnership with DoD Components, the DoD CIO developed and enterprise strategy to achieve SECDEF goals and deliver a streamlined, rationalized IT infrastructure. Enterprise objectives: Reduce the cost of data center hardware, software, and operations (to include an increase in server utilization) Shift IT investments to more efficient computing platforms and technologies (e.g., cloud computing) Software: Consolidate existing Component enterprise licenses; manage at the DoD level Hardware: Push a high percentage of DoD IT commodity procurement through a few select vehicles 4

5 Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative OMB initiated a Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (OMB Memo in 2/2010 (follow on to OMB BDR of 8/ 2009)) Major, ongoing effort that goes beyond a traditional data call. Implications for the DoD IT budget, DoD Strategic Plan and RoadMap (SP&R) The overall goals of a government wide data center consolidation initiative are: Promote use of Green IT -reduce overall energy and real estate footprint Reduce the cost of data center hardware, software and operations; Increase the overall IT security posture of the government; and Shift IT investments to more efficient computing platforms and technologies Deliverables Asset Inventory Data Center Consolidation Plan Quarterly Closure Updates 5
