It's that time of year again where the DoDIIS community comes together for their annual event called DoDIIS Worldwide Conference. This year it'll be held in Orlando, FL at the Orlando World Center Marriott from May 17-21. With this year's theme of "Empowering Decision Advantage," Sun Microsystems Federal and 2 key booth partners, Paragon Systems and GTSI, are providing a venue for the IC to experience new solutions to capitalize on more secure, lower cost, more efficient ways to do more with less - a message that resonates with all government agencies.
What does that really mean....empowering decision advantage? I can tell you what it means to Sun Federal. More effective secure collaboration using visual web services and identity management, faster and more secure feature deployments using open source software products, cross domain solutions to centralize user access; and thin clients to add mobility, reduce costs, and improve security.
So what are we showcasing in the Sun booth (booth #425)? Sun is showcasing MLS thin, thick and soft client solutions; GTSI is showcasing Amber Road - the hottest open storage solution that you don't want to miss; and Paragon Systems is showcasing their Transportable Datacenter solution. Also in our booth will be nationally renowned magician, Scott Tokar, who will literally amaze you with his extraordinary talent of magic and illusion.
As for me, yes, I'll be attending the DoDIIS show too. I'll be a speaker in one of the break-out sessions on Monday afternoon from 2:00-2:45 in Ballrooms F, E, D. Guess what my topic is? (If you've followed my past blogs then it'll be clear.) If you guessed open source then you're right. Sun has a phenomenal story to share and with multiple compelling reasons to choose open source solutions - such as more secure, lower cost and more efficient - I'd love for you to be part of the session if you're attending the show. Stop by the Sun booth (#425) and tell our team "Bill's Blog sent me to your booth."
