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.

BYOD in the NAVY??? by Joe_Dragon · 2015-05-18 16:39 · Score: 0, Troll

Are they insane? that BYOD better not be any where near any nuke launcher systems or nuke cooling / control systems / also the same thing for any war ship control systems.
Also open internet is a risk / apples app store / phoning home that can't be turned off may not work in that setting.
