Delivering high-security multi-cloud monitoring and management for federal agencies
Opus Interactive announced a partnership with ScienceLogic to deliver highly secure hybrid and multi-cloud monitoring and management. The joint solution offers federal agencies the ability to acquire the DISA-approved ScienceLogic SL1 hosted inside of the OpusGov FedRAMP Moderate Ready environment that resides in FISMA high-rated data centers.
Similar to the commercial sector, hybrid cloud is the new norm for federal agencies that are moving forward with modernization efforts while mobilizing staff and resources in the COVID response. Survey results published in MeriTalk’s Juggling the Clouds: What Are Agencies Learning report 81% of Federal IT decision-makers say their agency uses multiple cloud platforms (private cloud — 77%, public cloud — 57%, and edge — 20%). Reasons listed include increased performance, reliability, compliance/security, and flexibility at reduced/predictable cost. Challenges they were anticipating pre-COVID included security, governance, interoperability, regulatory compliance, and budget overruns. Post-COVID adoptions facing federal agencies include the 80% of agency staff and contractors now working remote, as well as added security and compliance needs of telework, health care, and communications.
