Enterprise Architecture, Cloud Computing and the US Federal Government
Ed Harrington,
Principal Consultant, Architecting the Enterprise, USA
Based on the recently released White Paper: " The Role of Enterprise Architecture in Federal Cloud Computing" by the EA SIG of the Federal Government Industry Advisory Council, this presentation will provide guidance to Enterprise Architects and others in developing an architected approach to implementing cloud computing. It contends that to be fully effective and provide the greatest value to organizations, cloud computing must:
- Be architected as an integral part of the organization’s Enterprise Architecture
- Provide for an effective governance mechanism
- Be implemented as services as part of a Service Oriented Architecture
Cloud Computing affects the people, process, and technology of the enterprise and each of these must be dealt with. This presentation explains the basic elements of cloud computing and ties it to solid architectural foundations. The guidance in this presentation will help enable the benefits of cloud computing to be fully realized.
