  • Description: While agencies may not be able to see their servers, even cloud services are not as "nebulous" as many assume, according to Norm Laudermilch, Chief Operating Officer for Verizon Terremark's [VZ] Federal Group. Part of Laudermilch's job is to oversee the company's Culpeper, Va., data center-a 30-acre campus that consumes more energy than the entirety of the county where it's located. Laudermilch said the data center is "custom tailored" to the federal customer and that Verizon had worked with the government on its construction before it opened in 2008. While IT departments may not be able to "hug their servers," as [Alissa Johnson] says of reluctant IT managers, the new model of outsourced IT may provide more security. Laudermilch remembers when opening a closet at the Pentagon could reveal a computer server, which most likely wasn't being monitored. In addition to security improvements, outsourcing to commercial providers allows IT departments to only pay for what they need. Laudermilch said he has seen Verizon cloud customers save up to 70 percent on IT costs with this flexibility.
