THE ACQBUSINESS CLOUD Both the AAD and the AAWF dashboards are currently hosted in the AcqBusiness
virtualized
Te AcqBusiness infrastructure effort is a natural progression of the consolidation task successfully executed
over the
past three years to incorporate reduced software and hardware footprints while virtualizing servers.
By leveraging virtualization, AcqBusi- ness has been able to lay the foundation for cloudlike capabilities, such as infra- structure-as-a-service (IaaS) and shared resource pools,
to flourish. IaaS has
resulted in greater awareness and cross- team collaboration with respect to the available shared pool of hardware and software resources.
By emphazing a shared resource pool, AcqBusiness is better able to optimize hardware and software assets
such as
maintenance and license renewals, which in turn is expected to result in lower life- cycle costs.
CONCLUSION Te
implementation of ment methodology, agile develop- the AAD and
AAWF dashboards, and the virtualized cloud environments can be attributed directly to the hard work and leadership of AcqBusiness’ workforce. AcqBusiness continues to ensure that its stakeholders are collaboratively engaged in developing innovative and modernized capabilities for the Army Acquisition Workforce.
