Dataline Announces Service Oriented Architecture - Real (SOA-R) Time Industry
Consortium and Educational Series Success
Dataline has recently launched the SOA-R industry consortium and education
event series to promote industry collaboration on Cloud Computing for National
Security Applications. The first event was a success drawing interest from
best-in-class industry leaders, and there are more events to come.

MCLEAN, Va., July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Dataline LLC is pleased to announce
the success of the first event in the SOA-R education series held July 16th.
The event drew participation from across the industry and government market
space. Presenters included representatives from Google, IBM, Appistry, and
Parabon. Attendees included representatives from The Boeing Company, Northrop
Grumman Mission Systems, Booz Allen Hamilton, BAE Systems, Juniper Networks,
SAIC, and many more. The event created the venue for an open forum,
cross-industry discussion regarding cloud computing, SOA, and adoption and
implementation by federal government and Department of Defense users. The
focus of the event centered on defining cloud computing and what it means to
government customers. The second event will be held on August 13th and will
focus on Global Information Access. Invited speakers include Cisco, Amazon,
and Akamai.
Throughout the SOA-R series, Dataline is bringing together the greatest
minds in the industry to tackle the topic of Service Oriented Architecture
(SOA), cloud computing, and the net-centric end-state. Pulling together
leaders in the industry will offer new and innovative solutions to old
problems and legacy systems and serve to enable real-time information flow to
the warfighter as the end-state of net-centricity rather than a focus on
infrastructure. Understanding where industry is in the terms of technology
development, becoming educated regarding their net-centric business plans, and
applying best practices in government implementation would truly enhance the
United States forces' ability to organize and access the information it needs.
The SOA-R series includes a total of six events including the first event
held July 16th -- "What is Cloud Computing?" -- which is followed by "Global
Information Access" to be held August 13th, "Increased Efficiency, Reduced
Cost" to be held September 11th, "Event Driven Information" to be held October
8th, "Information Availability" to be held October 29th, and "Mission
Relevance" to be held November 12th. The SOA-R series is co-sponsored by IBM,
Northrop Grumman Mission Systems, Google, Cisco, and Great Circle
Technologies. The series is being held at The Tower Club - Tysons Corner in
Vienna, Virginia.
