Phase II, Geospatial and Semantic Cloud Computing The FGDC OS, in partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Government Services Administration (GSA) is: Seeking nominations of projects for the second year of geospatial cloud computing testbed, and Offering this opportunity through pilots for public-facing geospatial systems to transition themselves to the Amazon Web Services environment for up to a year. At the end of the testbed, agencies may elect to continue operations on their own account. The objectives of GeoCloud-II are to: Validate cloud as a vehicle for platform savings and performance, Provide agencies with reusable tested and accredited platforms for other initiatives, Provide cloud business case information on benefits, costs and best practices. 19 Contact: Doug Nebert, FGDC OS, Read ahead: none

Phase II, Geospatial and Semantic Cloud Computing To meet these objectives, HHS will partner and invest with the FGDC Secretariat in the following services: Deploy and refine the existing cloud reference platforms for Windows/ArcGIS and CentOS/Drupal/OpenGeo that can support multiple Geospatial and semantic applications. Identify commonalities, cost-benefits analysis and lessons learned through the implementation. Derive cloud reference architectures and reference implementations. Publish commonalities, cost-benefits and lessons learned to the Federal Government Community. Work with the FedRAMP program office at GSA for certification of aforementioned reference platforms. 20

Phase II, Geospatial and Semantic Cloud Computing Applicants must be interested in participating and able to commit staff resources for the porting and operation of their own services in the Cloud environment. FGDC Secretariat will provide funding for the monthly Amazon hosting fees and with HHS will subsidize technical support to the projects. Bi-weekly teleconferences will be held to maintain progress and information exchange among the projects. Announcement was sent to CG (and others), 1/4/12. contains directions on information required in submissions. Please submit your brief project nominations to GeoCloud-II via to the FGDC Secretariat project manager Doug Nebert at no later than January 13, Project selection and kick-off telecon will occur the week of January 21
