New: Cloud without the Commitment
Now is a great time for your Federal agency to transition to the flexibility and reduced overall IT costs of the cloud. But finding the right approach can be a daunting task. To help you better prepare, MeriTalk, Red Hat and Cisco recently surveyed 150 Federal IT leaders to examine perceptions about current cloud challenges at the Federal level. The result is "Cloud without the Commitment", a revealing survey which includes a special focus on barriers to adoption such as migration, data portability, integration and future agility. In this revealing and engaging report, you can gain insight into:
