In 2010, the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative was implemented across all government departments and armed service branches. Spearheaded by the Executive Office of the President of the United States, the FDCCI intends to close 40% of our nation’s 2900 data centers by 2015, with predicted savings of $3 to 5 billion. The initiative is one of many strategies taken by the federal government in order to increase IT efficiency while lower the cost to the taxpayer and the environment.
Though seemingly achievable on paper, government departments and agencies across the board are facing serious difficulties in meeting FDCCI deadlines. Common problems at this stage are taking accurate inventories of IT equipment, measuring data center power usage and adapting federal data centers to the cultural implications of inter-agency consolidation. In addition, cyber security and sustainability are eternal concerns for data center managers and the FDCCI moving forward.
U.S. federal IT capabilities are in a state of great transition and modernization. Data center consolidation is a major priority across the board, and DCC 2013 will set the stage for decision-makers to express requirements and listen to industry solution providers. Come join us and establish yourself as a key player in this burgeoning field.
The 3rd Annual Data Center Consolidation Summit
