The FGDC is up-and-coming geographic place-based understanding and decision-making by taking wholesomeness of deject computing services.  Cloud applications are challenging traditional thinking well-nigh information technology (IT) infrastructure performance, as well as the availability and serviceability of information for key data management and wordage mechanisms.  Cloud computing is designed to treat IT as a scalable service rather than an institutionalized infrastructure .  Scalable services have the worthiness to dynamically increase or subtract topics to match user demands, leverage shared technologies and hardware, and ultimately realize economies of scale. The FGDC through the Geospatial Platform initiative is leveraging and providing shared cloud-based services to aid organ modernization and to provide geospatial services to meet mission demands.  Cloud computing is helping whop the NSDI Strategic Plan's goal of developing capabilities for National Shared Services by  utilizing worldwide deject computing approaches as mechanisms to leverage technology, tropical productivity gaps, and combine ownership power across agencies for similar needs.
