DISA on balancing on-prem data centers and public cloud services

Deputy Director Chris Barnhurst says that DISA provides ten core data centers to the department and has seen a significant shift toward commercial cloud over the last several years. He says, “from a DISA perspective, it’s caused a shift in three areas,” and explains how the agency is working to enable access for all classification levels, offer on-prem cloud capabilities and implement hybrid cloud where needed.
