NRRC Video Series – Video 2 : Building the Cloud Infrastructure

In September, the NCOIC delivered the Geospatial Community Cloud (GCC) demonstration.  Sponsored by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, this demonstration showed how an interoperable, hybrid-cloud operating environment can be quickly enabled and used as a rapid response capability.While this demonstration was designed around lessons learned in the 2010 Haitian Earthquake, the effort showed how a cloud services brokerage approach could be used to quickly provide critical information technology infrastructure support to an unplanned event.

The NCOIC is an international organization for accelerating the global implementation of network centric principles and systems–to improve information sharing among various communities of interest for the betterment of their productivity, interactivity, safety, and security. The NCOIC Rapid Response Capability (NRRC) video series supports that mission by broadly disseminating information about the GCC demonstration for the good of the global community.

In “Video 2 : Building the Cloud Infrastructure” ,  Kevin Jackson, vice president and general manager of NJVC Cloud Services, describes the demonstration scenario and builds the cloud infrastructure in a matter of minutes. Topics addressed include:

• Cloud Service Brokerage
• Cloud Infrastructure Management & Auditing
• Cloud Service Aggregation
• Geospatial Service Pooling
