[MUSIC PLAYING] The federal government is beholden to rules, regulations, and laws which impact the way they consume technology from the commercial sector. There are five key factors that drive any federal adoption of technologies used to protect the nation's data-rich assets. Security. Data at rest and in flight needs to be encrypted to NIST level, such as FIPS 140-2.
Manageability. From deployment to operational workflows, resiliency across all functions impacts the mission. Automation. Reducing operating expenses for tight budgets means supporting consistent, repeatable tasks. Reliability. Failure really is not an option with critical national data sets. Thus, availability of recovery data is paramount. Transparency. Agencies hosting national data resources are accountable to the public, and to elected leaders.
So how does Quest meet those very demanding requirements? First, we provide integrated solutions, such as NetVault, Foglight, and QoreStor, which are tightly integrated, thus easier to deploy and manage, and separate us from other cumbersome vendors. NetVault provides broad coverage of a diverse set of workloads in the government.
Being able to support not just today's technology, but also legacy platforms, is a key selection criteria for chosen solutions. Our software-only model brings reduced complexity to already taxed environments, streamlined user interfaces with a consistent look and feel, dashboards that deliver timely and critical information for decision support. With Quest, you're always connected and always on.
