Guidance on building better digital services in government
Digital infrastructure means hardware and software. It Includes physical and virtual “cloud” storage spaces.
Digital infrastructure includes hardware and software components that build the foundation of information technology systems. When you save a file online instead of on your own computer, you’re saving it virtually in “the cloud.” The cloud is a network of remote servers, storage, databases, and other resources accessed over the internet, rather than being maintained onsite in a physical data center.
Founded on three key pillars of successful cloud adoption—security, procurement, and workforce—the Cloud Smart strategy includes 11 action items from the Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council.
A FedRAMP approved cloud hosting platform that makes it easy for federal agencies to get on the cloud by simplifying procurement, security, and compliance.
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management (FedRAMP) is a process that authorizes cloud products and services.
A publishing platform that helps federal partners launch, maintain and manage Government websites.
A community for those who support their agency’s IT modernization efforts, and want to learn about application rationalization, data center optimization, and federal cloud computing.
