Defense Science Board Endorsement of Data Center 2.0 Strategy “If appropriately designed, a collection of modular data centers would provide DoD with robust and elastic computing capacity.” “… Modular data centers could be designed as a unit and purchased over time. In this way, standard best practices could be applied…” “Finding: Modular data centers offer an approach to quickly set up cloud computing capacity, to add additional computing data centers, and to easily refresh or update existing capability.” “Recommendation: The DoD CIO in partnership with the military Services should deploy interconnected, modular cloud computing data centers located at secure locations, such as military bases. Implemented through interconnected, modular cloud computer data centers, this can be operated as an integrated unit to improve the potential reducing costs.” “New modular cloud data center hardware offers the DoD an opportunity for rapid enhancement of the overall computing enterprise in a secure and resilient manner.”
