Defense Cloud

Welcome to Emerge 2021: Bringing Vision to Life. Join Amy Gilliland, President, GDIT, as she sets the stage for the exciting day ahead.

Warfighters need a cloud worthy of the mission and agile enough to handle any situation in any location. This keynote session will touch on the ever-changing cloud landscape and how the DoD works to meet evolving needs. Join this keynote session to hear Danielle Metz, Deputy CIO for Information Enterprise at the DoD, discuss how the DoD transitioned from Commercial Virtual Remote to DoD365.

With the Defense Enterprise Office Solution, DoD organizations can enable cross-department collaboration and productivity, improve interoperability between tenants, and take advantage of unified DoD capabilities with efficiencies of scale while maintaining proper governance. During this spotlight session, we’ll hear remarks from Caroline Bean, Program Director of DEOS at DISA, on how the DEOS migration is progressing, what DoD organizations need to know to accelerate their migration, how they can best maximize available capabilities in the contract, what’s coming down the line for OCONUS, IL6, and data controls, and more.

Cloud is evolving the way the Department of Defense defends assets, supports the warfighter, and gains tactical advantages. So where does the DoD stand in its cloud migration journey? What obstacles does it face, and how can users accelerate migration, advance cyber security, improve efficiency, and further innovation? In this fireside chat session, we’ll explore how DoD leaders can:

• Develop effective cloud strategies
• Select the right cloud environment for different workloads
• Determine the optimum location for data
• Manage multi-cloud environments, and more
