The Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI), established on February 26, 2010 by a memorandum from federal CIO Vivek Kundra,1 seeks to decrease the number of data centers in use by the federal government to reduce costs and achieve more efficient government operations. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) leads the effort through the Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council, which has assisted agencies in identifying their existing data center assets and in formulating detailed consolidation plans. While all agencies are encouraged to participate, the 24 CIO Council agencies are required to, but it will take a great deal of effort to accomplish what the FDCCI is attempting to achieve.
