FDCCI is your mission. CommScope is your answer. Performance, security and efficiency that meet your targets Data Center Solutions }
FDCCI is changing how the government manages data A challenge and an opportunity In 2011, the CIO Council drafted the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI). Its purpose is to reduce the number of data centers used by federal agencies through closure or consolidation. REDUCE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP The objectives of FDCCI are manifold: to reduce the total cost of ownership; to increase data security; to embrace more efficient technologies and new computing platforms; and to minimize energy and real estate footprints in an effort to promote sustainable, green IT practices. The consequences of FDCCI are changing how federal agencies manage their data and how they fulfill their mandates. The breadth and depth of consolidation means not all functions will remain in federal data centers. For many agencies, the solution requires partnership with commercial multitenant data centers and that means new challenges with a new set of variables. INCREASE DATA SECURITY 2
The Long road to FDCCI compliance Three factors drive your consolidation challenge FDCCI has changed everything except the expectation of security, reliability and efficiency from your agency s infrastructure. As you work to achieve the initiative s aggressive targets, you face a number of deep challenges: Cost Congressional deficit-cutting measures focus additional scrutiny on capital expenditures, making it necessary to shift to an operational expense model. Compliance Whether your network infrastructure remains in a government data center or migrates to a private partner, FDCCI compliance means meeting service level agreements (SLA) requirements for security and reliability. Efficiency Emerging technology such as cloud computing, virtualized data center environments, managed services and enhanced disaster recovery will play a major role in how your infrastructure meets FDCCI s efficiency goals. CommScope means comprehensive solutions and complete support To address these factors and meet the demanding goals of FDCCI on schedule, your agency requires data center solutions from a capable partner with a long history of meeting the unique technological and process needs of government. That partner is CommScope. 1998 2010 The number of federal data centers quadruples, resulting in average utilization rates of 27%. 1 2011 Nearly 2,100 federal data centers are in operation across the country. 2 The average utilization of these assets drops to 21%. 3 2011 The 24 federal agencies on the CIO Council submit their consolidation plans to eliminate nearly 1,000 data centers by 2015. 4 2012 The first wave of nearly 500 closures takes place. 5 2013 The number of closures is slated to grow to 627. 6 2015 By end of year, 962 data centers will be eliminated, saving up to $5 billion. 6 CommScope engineers government-grade solutions that address many of the most complex SLA benchmarks and deliver long-term reliability and value.
