The cornerstone of military success is built around teamwork and effective collaboration. Our nation must empower our U.S. military personnel with the capability to securely communicate and collaborate using innovative solutions for voice, video, instant messaging and conferencing. A key consideration for the Department of Defense (DoD) to modernize communications and infrastructure is addressing OPEX vs CAPEX, and achieving a better return on IT investment. While enhanced return on investment and potential cost savings are always an issue, DoD leaders also want to be sure that any solution they deploy will have some form of future-proofing and can evolve in response to, and ahead of, threats.
Learn about Cisco’s approach to secure collaboration for defense that overcomes these challenges. The DoD’s movement to the cloud, and Cisco’s Hosted Collaboration Solution for Defense (HCS-D) offering, is a mission critical Impact Level 5 (IL 5) secure solution that provides the capabilities needed to support the modern warfighter. The DoD’s migration to cloud puts security and agility at the forefront.
