NESDIS
National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service
NESDIS PROVIDES ACCESS TO GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL DATA AND INFORMATION FROM SATELLITES AND OTHER SOURCES TO PROMOTE AND PROTECT THE NATION’S SECURITY, ENVIRONMENT, ECONOMY, AND QUALITY OF LIFE.
CHALLENGE
With massive compute and storage requirements, NESDIS leadership wanted to migrate to the commercial cloud in a common enterprise framework. Recognizing the transition to the commercial cloud is not so much a technology challenge as it is an institutional challenge, NESDIS hired TPM to develop the architectural framework, Concept of Operations (CONOPS), and business processes to support their transition to the cloud.
