One of the most important reasons government agencies should want to use cloud computing is to reign in the costs associated with building and maintaining data centers. Just a few years ago the federal government had only about 400 data centers; today there are more than 1,000, according to Susie Adams, the federal chief technology officer at Microsoft.
Adams and other member of the federal IT industry are scheduled to meet in Washington on Dec. 8 at the Cloud Computing Shoot Out conference to discuss the future of the technology.
Federal Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra will moderate the event and is scheduled to deliver a keynote address in which he will talk about the potential for cloud computing to decrease capital costs and streamline IT infrastructures, Adams said.
