President Obama FY 2010 Budget"Of the investments that will involve up-front costs to be recouped in outyear savings, cloud-computing is a prime case in point. The Federal Government will transform its Information Technology Infrastructure by virtualizing data centers, consolidating data centers and operations, and ultimately adopting a cloud-computing business model. Initial pilots conducted in collaboration with Federal agencies will serve as test beds to demonstrate capabilities, including appropriate security and privacy protection at or exceeding current best practices, developing standards, gathering data, and benchmarking costs and performance. The pilots will evolve into migrations of major agency capabilities from agency computing platforms to base agency IT processes and data in the cloud. Expected savings in the outyears, as more agencies reduce their costs of hosting systems in their own data centers, should be many times the original investment in this area."

Federal Timeline

Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance

Section 1. Policy. In order to create a clean energy economy that will increase our Nation's prosperity, promote energy security, protect the interests of taxpayers, and safeguard the health of our environment, the Federal Government must lead by example. It is therefore the policy of the United States that Federal agencies shall increase energy efficiency; measure, report, and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions from direct and indirect activities; …..

Sec. 2. Goals for Agencies. In implementing the policy set forth in section 1 of this order, and preparing and implementing the Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan called for in section 8 of this order, the head of each agency shall:

– …..

– (i) promote electronics stewardship, in particular by:

o …..

o (v) implementing best management practices for energy-efficient management of servers and Federal data centers; and

Presidential Executive Order 13514 October 5, 2009

• Significant Cost Reduction: Available at a fraction of the cost of traditional IT services; upfront capital expenditures eliminated; dramatically reduced IT administrative burden

• Increased Flexibility: On-demand computing across technologies, business solutions and large ecosystems of providers; Reduced new solution implementation times.

• Access anywhere: Un-tethered from a single computer or network. Use different computer or move to portable devices, and applications and documents follow.

• Elastic scalability and pay-as-you-go: Add and subtract capacity as your needs change. Pay for only what you use.

• Easy to implement: No need to purchase hardware, software licenses or implementation services.

• Service quality: Reliable services, large storage and computing capacity, and 24/7 service and up-time.

• Delegate non-critical applications: Outsource non-critical applications to service providers and focus agency IT resources on business-critical applications.

• Always the latest software: Updates are automatic

• Sharing documents and group collaboration: Applications and documents accessiblefrom anywhere in the world, facilitating group collaboration on documents and projects.

Cloud Computing Benefits

• Cloud Computing option (Public, Private, Community, Hybrid or None) must support information risk management profile

• “Brutal standardization” increases automation and reduces opportunity for human error

• Infrastructure visibility improves ability to deploy, monitor and enforce security policies

• Advanced data-centric security technologies can be implemented

Key Inhibitors

Cloud Computing offers clear opportunities for agencies to significantly reduce their growing data center and IT hardware expenditures. The Executive Branch is strongly encouraging and facilitating this transition through executive order and Apps.gov

An efficient and properly planned transition to cloud computing can simultaneously provide significant reduction in datacenter costs and increase in agency datacenter efficiency.

The benefit ratio for investing in a transition from status quo datacenters to a cloud computing based strategy range from 5.7 to 15.4. The Discount Payback Period for two phase transition plans (3-yr investment phase, 10 year steady-state O&S phase) range from 2.7 to 3.7 years

Early development efforts (pilots) to support a FY 2012 cloud computing transition should start in spring 2010
