Artificial intelligence and cloud migration across government agencies are driving new demands in data processing and workflows.

At AWS Summit in Washington DC, Nutanix Senior Director of US Federal Greg O’Connell discussed how agencies can ensure seamless data migration and app mobility, leverage generative AI and incorporate security.

He equated today’s rapid growth in modern applications to the impact of the browser, as the “killer app” of the internet era of the 1990s. With projections of 750 million new apps by 2026, he said agencies face challenges to incorporate more cloud and edge computing that would handle increased data processing and to develop more sophisticated security measures.

Additionally, he addressed the impact of industry acquisitions on vendor dependency, stressing the importance of flexibility and freedom of choice in IT infrastructure to adapt to changing needs and avoid lock-in with a single provider.
