DS is continuously maintaining and improving DoDIIS global IT infrastructure to make information sharing easier. Budget realities dictate that DoDIIS IT infrastructure transforms to meet those needs efficiently and effectively as the DoD looks to reduce IT expenditures. To that end, DS is committed to evolving our current infrastructure into an improved PCN. Cloud computing is a style of computing in which scalable and elastic IT-enabled capabilities are delivered as a service to external customers using internet technologies. 14 The PCN, founded on JWICS, is critical to gaining mission and cost efficiencies immediately on TS/SCI networks and delivering intelligence information faster and more cheaply through the PCN's common infrastructure. Enhancing the PCN will expand DoDIIS's flexibility by enabling capacity to be added or removed quickly, based on shifting user demand. The PCN will facilitate information sharing by transforming the current DoDIIS IT infrastructure into an agile, mission-centric environment. DS will:
