"The Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative calls upon agencies to develop and implement plans for consolidating, streamlining and modernizing their datacenter operations. Based on his experience migrating mission-critical applications to new, state-of-the-art facilities, Agilex’ Kevin Sheehan shares important lessons learned for meeting this mandate by creating a more agile and secure infrastructure. A key focus is in the use of standard configurations and common platforms to streamline the certification & accreditation process while improving application security and reliability. He also weighs the pros and cons of emerging technologies, such as virtualization and Oracle Exadata." 1
