Oakland County has moved from a Cloud First to a Cloud Smart strategy to obtain the most efficient use and reduce cost while extending the services of Oakland County Information Technology (OCIT). The County has been utilizing Amazon Web Services (AWS) to build OCIT cloud environments. The Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) approach uses software architecture/design and code to orchestrate the “building” of the Government Cloud (GovCloud) environment, leveraging automation software which allows for innovative, agile and rapid development efforts. The SDDC provided OCIT a solid base to build the environment to contain applications which will house Criminal Justice Information (CJI) data.
