Cloud Services
In today's IT environment, agility and speed coupled with affordability matter more to users and administrators than ever before. Organizations face multiple challenges focused around low asset utilization, duplicative systems and environments, and long procurement times—wasting money and time. NJVC cloud computing experts have developed the answer. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) capability saves your organization time, money and manpower—allowing customers to focus on their missions. Deploying cloud-based environments is critical to improving efficiencies, streamlining provisioning and making applications accessible across multiple organizations.
NJVC cloud services are FedRAMP approved and certified, federally administered, continuously monitored and easily obtained through GSA Schedule 70 and its IaaS BPA.
Seminars/Workshops. NJVC offers a half-day, executive cloud computing seminars, during which students obtain a high-level overview of cloud computing concepts and technologies, and an in-depth, three-day cloud computing workshop, where students receive a detailed overview of cloud computing, cloud's relationship to mission and cloud adoption strategies.
Assessments. This four-week consulting engagement uses a structured interview process to identify mission areas and processes that are candidates for transition into a cloud computing paradigm. Consultants use this insight to develop mission and economic value models for review and consideration.
Strategy/Planning. This six-week consulting engagement develops a mission-focused agency cloud computing pilot strategy, which is consistent with the federal “cloud first” policy and Federal IT Management Reform is develop and presented.
Infrastructure Design/Development/Implementation. Our services include a standardized cloud opportunity identification process that reduces risk of project failure by leveraging data on successful cloud implementations. We provide application design and development services required to "cloudify" customer applications. NJVC also can pair this service with the necessary cloud hosting services to provide the total cloud computing solution.
Cloud Infrastructure Services – NJVC provides cloud infrastructure services through the GSA Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Blanket Purchase Agreement. Our team’s IaaS Authority-to-Operate was issued by the Federal Joint Authorization Board under the draft FedRAMP certification process. We also offer Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.
Cloud Computing Professional Certifications –Through an agreement with the National Cloud Technologist Association, NJVC offers CloudMASTER and CloudGURU certification courses. The CloudMASTER Certificate Program provides a strong foundation in cloud technologies, overall cloud architecture and management of cloud infrastructure. The program also provides a solid technical background in modern web services deployment and administration. Students will learn concepts, principles, techniques, and practices needed to administer and secure a modern cloud-enabled business environment. CloudMASTER is comprised of three modules and each can be completed as a stand-alone course representing its own credential. A CloudGURU is a change agent within institutions and corporations that begins transitions from traditional infrastructure and legacy applications to innovative cloud models. This advanced training module involves 32 hours of classroom training, with hands-on computer lab work and a mandatory online examination.
