Data Center Consolidation Task Force

Overview
The Obama Administration has created a Data Center Consolidation Task Force comprised of the data center program managers, facilities managers and sustainability officers. It is functioning under the aegis of the CIO Council.

The Data Center Consolidation Task Force is responsible for working together to share progress toward individual agency goals and the overall Federal target of a minimum of 800 data center closures by 2015. The Data Center Consolidation Task Force will meet monthly to review progress of each consolidation project and ensure government-wide alignment between agency efforts where appropriate. The Task Force will serve as a “community of practice” for Agency CIOs and data center program managers to share best practices from this effort and enhance consolidation effectiveness.
