US Navy Abandons Cloud and Data Center Plans In Favor of New Strategy
An anonymous reader writes: The U.S. Navy is not pleased with the progress it has made on data center consolidation and plans to change strategies. "Later this year, we will make an organizational change to our approach to data center consolidation. The Data Center and Application Optimization (DCAO) program office will move from under Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) headquarters to under Program Executive Office-Enterprise Information Systems (PEO-EIS) as a separate entity or program office," said John Zangardi, the Navy's deputy assistant secretary for command, control, computers, intelligence, information operations and space and acting chief information officer. The secretary added that over the past three years, the U.S. Department of the Navy had consolidated 290 IT systems and applications at 45 national sites.

The iTunes app store terms and conditions only says:
You also agree that you will not use these products for any purposes prohibited by United States law, including, without limitation, the development, design, manufacture or production of nuclear, missiles, or chemical or biological weapons.
No development, no design, no manufacture, no production.
But no where does it say "launching". Launching should be fine.
Program Executive Office-ENterprise Information Systems (PEO-ENIS). You know, for those Southern folks.
shouldn't the Navy be focused on The Wave? The Cloud is outside their jurisdiction
