Government agencies depend on the ability to effectively share and utilize data, deploy digital services, and pool IT resources.
This whitepaper summarizes several effective approaches that government agencies are adopting to ensure their cloud initiatives are highly secure even as they enable greater data-sharing and collaboration across agencies. These approaches are drawn from the webinar, “Securing Intelligence in an Open Hybrid Cloud,” which explains that a multifaceted approach to cloud security is required to achieve successful outcomes. Cloud security is the keystone of IT modernization efforts.
Federal agencies are deepening their adoption of cloud technologies—especially open hybrid cloud—to deliver software, infrastructure, and applications. Red Hat experts outlined 8 best practices for cloud adoption.
In this executive brief, learn why federal agencies increasingly view open hybrid cloud platforms, such as Red Hat® Cloud Infrastructure, as effective tools to modernize IT and adopt agile development approaches.

Given the ever-increasing criticality of IT to the business, the CIO that cannot deliver predictable performance, while minimizing cost will be replaced. Yet a number of trends are increasing the complexity of solving this problem. Moreover, organizations today vary in their level of IT maturity. The ability to adopt new technologies and processes, pressure from the business, as well as the beliefs and aspirations of CIOs all play a role in how and why organizations mature.
This document describes five stages of IT maturity for CIOs to understand where their organization is today and where they can aspire to reach:
Adopting an autonomic IT approach requires a change in mindset across the organization. But whatever their stage of IT maturity, CIOs and their organizations can benefit. This document is your roadmap.
Capacity management as an operational discipline has existed since the advent of server-based computing, dating back to the age of the mainframe. Commercial tools to support this discipline have existed for more than 30 years with each successive generation of server platform creating its own unique requirements.
The introduction of virtualization in particular introduced the Intelligent Workload Management (IWM) problem where capacity management was no longer a sufficient solution to assuring application performance. In particular, traditional capacity management solutions suffer from a few shortcomings.
This whitepaper explores the traditional methods of managing capacity in the data center, the new approach IT must adopt to stay competitive and how you can assure application performance while scaling your infrastructure.
A growing number of IT leaders are transforming IT’s unfortunate reputation as a cost-center into one of a competitive advantage. In doing so they acknowledged that IT cannot be a gate-keeper. Their teams must enable applications teams to deliver on business needs—or they’ll be replaced. The public cloud promises many things, but there remain three key elements to consider as you transform IT: Performance, Cost, and Agility.
This white paper is for leaders of Operations, Engineering, or Infrastructure teams who are creating or executing an IT roadmap. It discusses the challenges that must be recognized and questions that must be considered in order to succeed in this new cloud era.
Some people think Azure is just Windows in the cloud or that AD, Azure and AAD are all Microsoft, so it all works together. They need to think again.
The cloud doesn’t run itself. It’s true that AD, Azure and AAD all come from Microsoft, but they don’t all automagically work together. You must decide how you want them to interoperate, then set them up correctly. The first time you do that it’s not simple. There are tricks and traps that people only learn from experience working with Azure.
In the whitepaper, you’ll find all of the details and guidelines for custom implementation and much more, including:
Today, almost everyone talks about moving to the cloud. But a question people rarely raise is: Which specific cloud types are most appropriate for a given company? And it's not immediately clear which kinds of application re-architecting are required for a successful cloud computing implementation. Building applications in the cloud is always easier than moving enterprise apps in the cloud, but which ones need re-architecting?
Join renowned Microsoft experts Jeff DeVerter and Kent Kingery, both of Rackspace, as they discuss a repeatable evolutionary pattern for moving enterprise apps to the cloud. They'll cover several applications, along with real-world use cases where enterprises have leveraged the cloud as a change agent and catalyst to transform their interactions with customers.
Have you decided to move to the cloud, but asking yourself where should we locate our cloud resources? Better yet, what workloads should I move and when? Do I have the expertise to migrate my workloads to the cloud and then manage it without disrupting my IT environment?
Join our featured speakers, Rackspace and 10th Magnitude, on a round table discussion on the concepts of cloud form factors leading to hybrid cloud, the advantages of using hybrid cloud technologies, and a look at how the Microsoft Azure platform enables efficient and effective hybrid cloud computing. See how organizations are reducing complexity and management costs by leveraging managed hosting in hybrid cloud environments through real-world use cases.
Today, thousands of applications are being ported to the cloud, and enterprises are faced with making decisions about how to treat each application. Should you lift and shift, partially refactor, or completely refactor your apps when porting to the cloud?
Join our panel of featured speakers from Rackspace and 10th Magnitude for an in-depth discussion centered on real world cloud transformation examples. See how organizations like yours are adapting their applications for Microsoft Azure to drive up performance, drive down cost and operate at cloud scale.
