GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US HERE.
I WILL TALK ABOUT THE CONTEXT THAT THE DISTRICT
WORKS IN AND TALK TO ABOUT THE AREAS WE WILL
BE FOCUSING ON IN THE FUTURE.
HERE IS THE ENVIRONMENT WE LIVE IN.
IF YOU ARE AT THE OPENING LUNCHEON ON MONDAY,
MR.
HOFFMAN BRIEFED THE SLIDE.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS -- IS THE ENTIRE GLOBE.
WE RUN THE GLOBAL ACACIAS NETWORK BASED ON
A COMBINATION OF RESOURCES 
THAT EXTENDS EVERYWHERE WHERE THE DOD FIGHTS.
WE PROVIDE COMPUTING CENTERS THAT SUPPORT
NOT ONLY LEGACY APPLICATIONS BUT OUR NEXT
GENERATION OF ENTERPRISE SERVICES.
WE HAVE COMMAND AND CONTROL RESPONSIBILITY
IN TERMS OF BUILDING THOSE JOINT CAPABILITIES
TO SUPPORT OUR TASK FORCE AND INTEGRATE THE
ACTIVITIES OF THE SERVICES IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT
OF COMMAND AND CONTROL.
THOSE OF ALSO SUPPORTED BY A RANGE OF ACTIVITIES
AND SPECTRUM TESTING AND SENIOR LEADERSHIP
SUPPORT.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS IS THE I.T.
SUPPORTS ORGANIZATION FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF
DEFENSE.
I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO
TALK ABOUT WHAT WE THINK THE FUTURE WAR FIGHTERS
WANT IN TERMS OF THEIR I.T..
THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN CPU SPEED OR RAM
OR MEMORY.
WHAT THEY REALLY WANT IS THEY WANT TO GET
THEIR STUFF, THEY WANT TO INTERACT WITH ANYONE
THEY NEED TO INTERACT WITH, WHETHER THOSE
ARE OTHER MEMBERS OF THEIR SERVICES, A JOINT
WAR FIGHTERS, A COALITION WAR FIGHTERS, NON-GOVERNMENTAL
ORGANIZATIONS, UNIVERSITIES, CONTRACTORS,
ETC..
THEY DON'T WANT TO BE IMPEDED BY A SECURITY
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT PREVENTS THEM FROM USING
MOBILE DEVICES.
THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE
ENTERPRISE BEING RELIABLE.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE ASPIRATIONAL CALLS WE
HAVE BUILT TOO.
TOMORROW, YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT THE JOINT INFORMATION
ENTERPRISE.
THIS IS AN ONGOING ARCHITECTURE INITIATIVE
THAT IS BEING LED BY THE JOINT STAFF AS WELL
AS DOD.
THIS SETS THE CONTEXT FOR WHAT I THINK YOU
WANT TO FOCUS ON IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN
OPPORTUNITIES NOT ONLY WITH DISA FOR FALL
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE IT WRIT LARGE.
I DON'T THINK YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IF WHAT
YOU ARE DOING IS AIMING AT THE TARGETS.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO DO IS UNDERSTAND WHERE
THIS IS GOING, WHERE THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
IS GOING, AND BE ABLE TO AIM AT THOSE OPPORTUNITIES,
TO LEAD THE TARGET SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO
TAKE THOSE CAPABILITIES OR YOU WILL BE IN
ONE, TWO YEARS.
IF YOU LOOK AT THIS ARCHITECTURE, THE HIGH
LEVEL ELEMENTS INCLUDE MOVING TO THIS DATA
AND SERVICES PROVIDED AS PART OF THE CLOUD.
THIS WOULD BE ACCESS ON ANY TYPE OF HOME MACHINE,
A FURNISHED COMPUTER CONNECTION.
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO VERY ACCURATELY AUTHENTICATE
AND IDENTIFY USERS SO THAT WE CAN CONTROL
THEIR ACCESS TO INFORMATION TO ENSURE SECURITY
OF THE UNDERLYING DATA AS WELL AS THE JOINT
ENVIRONMENT.
THIS HAS TO FUNCTION NOT ONLY IN OUR OFFICE
BUILDINGS BUT IT HAS TO FOCUS OUT THAT DEPLOYED
EDGE, THE WAR FIGHTER.
IT ALSO PASSED TO EXPLORED THE DEPARTMENT
OF DEFENSE, AT BEST TO SUPPORT OF THE COALITION
WAR FIGHTER.
WE FIGHT AND A FRACTION SAID THAT WE CAN SUPPORT
THIS CONCEPT OF MISSION NETWORKS THAT CAN
BE CONFIGURED AND ORIENTED TO SUPPORTING THE
PARTNERS WORKING WITH US IN ANY PARTICULAR
ENGAGEMENT 
AND OPERATION.
IF YOU ARE AIMING AT WERE THE TARGET IS TODAY,
YOU WILL MISS AN OPPORTUNITY.
YOU NEED TO LOOK AT WHERE THE TARGET IS GOING.
THIS IS FROM MR.
STEVE JOBS, A MAN WHO IS LARGEST -- LEGENDARY
IT ABOUT WHERE THE WORLD IS GOING.
INNOVATION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW MANY
ARE AND THE DOLLARS YOU HAVE, IT HAS TO DO
WITH THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE, HOW THEY ARE LED,
HOW MUCH THEY GET IT.
WE ARE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND . 
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO LEAD THE TARGET.
I HAVE TO HAVE TIME FOR A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS,
IS THAT CORRECT?
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE DOT WILL BE ABLE TO
IMPLEMENT THE TWO ENCLAVES ARCHITECTURE IS
BEING PROPOSED?
"GENERAL ALEXANDER HAS BEEN DOING SOME LEADING
EDGE WORK AND TRYING TO REDUCE THE FOOTPRINT
OF THE CLASSIFIED NETWORK.
INSTEAD OF HAVING THESE TO COLLAPSE THOSE
ONTO A SINGLE INFRASTRUCTURE.
THERE IS TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO DO
THAT.
IN FACT, I WILL NOT TELL YOU WHICH VENDOR,
BUT THERE IS A VENDOR SOMEWHERE OUT THERE
ON THE FLOOR THAT PROBABLY HAS A DEMONSTRATION
OF THAT TECHNOLOGY.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THAT.
IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY SOLVE BOTH PROBLEMS
BUT THIS IS AN 80% SOLUTION AND THIS WILL
ALLOW US TO REMOVE SOME OF THAT FOOTPRINT,
I THINK.
WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO OF INDUSTRIES HELP
YOU RIGHT NOW WHERE YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE HAD
HELP BEFORE?
I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE HELP IN THESE AREAS
BUT THE BIG AREAS TO MOBILITY.
I LED THE INDUSTRY PANEL AND I PREDICTED WITHIN
FIVE YEARS, EVERYTHING WE DID IN THE DEPARTMENT
OF DEFENSE AND IN THE DEFENSE INFORMATION
SYSTEMS AGENCY WOULD HAVE TO BE DELIVERED
TO A MOBILE DEVICE.
SOME INDUSTRY FRANCE PULLED ME ASIDE AND SAID,
YOU ARE INSANE.
YOU CANNOT EVEN BRING A CELLPHONE INTO YOUR
BUILDING.
LAST WEEK, BASED ON A RISK ASSESSMENT AND
A LOT OF WORK, AND A LOT OF HARD WORK THAT
HAS GONE ON TO DEVELOP IN THE SOLUTIONS, THE
LIMITED DEPLOYMENT OF WIRELESS CAPABILITIES
ON OUR CAMPUS AT FORT MEADE.
YOU HAVE PROBABLY SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE RUNNING
AROUND WITH ANDROIDS AND AN IPHONE, OR OTHER
DEVICES.
THAT IS THE RESULT OF SOME VERY HARD WORK
THAT HAS BEEN DONE 
AND WE HAVE DELIVERED THE INCREMENT OF A PROTOTYPE
FOR SECURING ON CLASSIFIED SOLUTIONS.
LOOKING TO DO THIS ON THE CLASSIFIED LEVEL.
IN NUMBER OF YOU ON THE ROOM ARE FAMILIAR
WITH THE NSA EFFORT.
THE FINAL SPECIFICATIONS WILL BE RELEASED
IN JUNE.
THAT IS ONE AREA.
I HATE TO USE THE BUZZWORD, THE CLOUD.
I THINK THAT GETTING RID OF THOSE LOCAL PROBLEMS
AND MOVING THOSE INTO A CLOUD SERVICE PROVIDER
RUMBLE BE THE KEY TO SAVING MONEY TO ACHIEVE
AN I.T.
EFFICIENCY.
THE DEFENSE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AGENCY WILL
BE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE PROVIDING THOSE SERVICES
AND WE WILL DO THIS WITH PRIVATE CLUBS THAT
ARE INTERNAL TO OUR NETWORKS.
NO MORE QUESTIONS, THANK YOU, SIR.
OK, THANK YOU.
