since day one the new administration has been clear about them having 2 key priorities... cutting gov spending and modernizing fed IT systems . they want a smarter government not just a bigger one (that's what they say, we'll see what they mean). At Broadcom we've been doing something very similar ourselves. After our merger with VMware we took on a huge projct to streamline/modernize things...
We shrunk our data centers from 40+ down to less than ten locations. Did it pay off?
Lower costs, easier operations, and improved experiences for our teams. we've found out that modernization isn't just about moving things to the public cloud. Ten years ago everyone rushed into public cloud believing it would solve every problem. Honestly, it hasn’t lived up to expectations... Public cloud can often end up pricier and more complicted than anticipated. have you ever struggled with skills gaps or failed cloud projects? nowdays i am certain that the Private cloud is the answer! It givess massive cost savings potentially reducing expenses by 50pct+ compared to traditional models. Agencies like the IRS and the DoD already use our VMware Cloud Foundation. They streamline millions of tax returns securely and efficiently, even in the toughest environments...
anyhow, private clouds are the smart path forward.
It’s secure affordable and actually delivers IT modernization promises.
This is how we build a leaner smarter gov and it'll benefit pretty much all of us.
