NJVC Platform as a Service to Include Google Geospatial Services
NJVC® was selected by Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium (NCOIC) to provide the platform as a service (PaaS) element of a cloud-computing-based humanitarian assistance and disaster response data exchange demonstration.
A combined technology solution, known as GeoCloud, will provide trusted connectivity between multiple independent vendor cloud services through the use of this open platform. GeoCloud also will create a virtual organization of response teams so members can easily access critical geospatial data in support of their intertwined missions on a pick-and-choose basis and consume that data on demand. NJVC will leverage the CloudcuityTM AppDeployer application PaaS to integrate various apps to support the needs of a diverse population of international disaster first responders (e.g., law enforcement, fire response, disaster medical response) into a common complex humanitarian disaster (CHD) management operating environment. In this implementation, the AppDeployer PaaS extends and complements the Google Maps Engine development PaaS platform.

Has Your Enterprise Cloud Hit a Brick Wall?
You can design a great enterprise cloud network, but it will be very restricted if you are in a building that does not support broadband connectivity or mission-critical applications.
What good is a multi-gigabit design if your connection to the central office is not fiber? Or redundant? Can you even have a mission-critical network if you only have one connection to one central office?
Here are five ways to tell if your building is obsolete.
How receptive is your building to all the new connectivity technology exploding onto the market? Have your smartphone with you? Does it work well in your building?

CIOs Chime in on Cloud Computing Adoption
A new study has found that IT complexity already existing within an organization is one barrier to implementing a cloud system.
NTT Europe recently completed a study that found 56 percent of CIOs and senior IT leaders see complexity of their own Information and Communications Technology (ICT) systems as the biggest barrier to their organization’s enterprise wide adoption of the cloud, according to an article on Forbes.com.
The survey contends that cloud adoption continues to be tactical in nature as a result of the inordinate complexity of existing and legacy ICT platforms. Completed in April and May of this year in the United Kingdom, the study “Growing Pains In The Cloud, 300 CIOs Express Their Views About Barriers To Cloud Adoption” was completed by Vanson Bourne and included 300 interviews of CIOs and senior IT leaders from public and private organizations with 250+ employees.
While the study was completed in the UK, the findings are applicable to enterprises globally looking to use cloud computing to better align business and IT strategies. Fifty-nine percent of CIOs and IT leaders surveyed say that enabling alignment of business and IT strategies using cloud infrastructure is their No. 1 priority.
