NCOIC’s
Kevin Jackson to present new process for creating interoperability via a cyber-secure
multi-cloud environment at cloud computing conferences in the U.S. and China
WASHINGTON—June
4, 2014—Cyber-secure
cloud computing can help both businesses and governments improve their ability
to collaborate with non-traditional partners so they can quickly and
cost-effectively tackle complex problems. That’s the message Kevin Jackson of
the Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium will deliver to world
technology leaders this month.
Jackson
is scheduled to present an open process developed by NCOIC to facilitate
cross-domain interoperability and secure information sharing among different
systems and users at Cloud
Expo
in New York on June 10 and at the World
Congress of Cloud Computing in Dalian, China on June 20.
Known
as the NCOIC Rapid Response Capability (NRRC™), the new process defines how to build and manage
a federated cloud computing platform that provides a foundation for sharing information
within a secure environment, enabling a diverse group of users to exchange data
via their different technology applications.
“The
NRRC process can support a wide range of operational and business needs, like humanitarian
assistance, disaster response, supply chain management and other instances
where different groups must come together quickly to address a complex
situation or common mission,” says Jackson. “The consortium has shown how the
power of the cloud can be used to share critical, life-saving information in an
emergency situation. Now we have developed a more general set of checklists,
rules and patterns that promotes secure and reliable data exchange.”
Jackson
will discuss the disaster-response simulation NCOIC held last September for the
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. During the real-time demonstration, he
built a federated cloud environment in a matter of minutes so users in a
virtual organization could quickly collect, store and share geospatial data.
A cloud
computing expert, Jackson specializes in
information technology solutions that meet U.S. government operational
requirements. He serves on the team that developed the NRRC process
and leads NCOIC master practitioners who can assist businesses, governments and
non-government organizations in implementing their interoperable cloud
computing platforms. In addition, Jackson oversees the activities of the NCOIC
Cloud Computing Working Group.
Jackson
is founder of GovCloud Network, editor of GovernmentCloud Computing electronic magazine and author of two books on cloud
computing. Prior to joining NCOIC, he was vice president and general manager of
Cloud Services at NJVC. He also served in various senior management positions at the National Reconnaissance Office, Sirius Computer
Solutions, IBM, JP Morgan Chase and SENTEL Corporation. During his career with
the U.S. Navy, Jackson held specialties in command and control and space systems
engineering while accumulating over 2500 hours and 230 carrier landings flying
E-2C and C-2A aircraft.
