Scott Sacknoff ( SPADE Investor ) submits: Although the summer got off to a rough, volatile start, overall the markets drifted in the standard, quiet, sideways pattern typically exhibited as a large percentage of Wall Street goes on vacation or enjoys the summer months. The Defense sector was no different as volume was low (typically of the summer) and while the value of the index had its ups and downs, it pretty much stayed in a trading range following June’s declines.

The information technology arm of the Defense Department—which spends $7 billion a year on IT—has cut data center Spending by 25 percent, its CIO says. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal , the CIO and director of strategic planning for the Defense Information Systems Agency —John Garing—says the agency has worked out deals with its vendors to rein in data center costs. Rather than buy the hardware and storage, we instead pay the vendor to retain ownership but put the devices in our data centers. We pay them for what we use and no more.

We simply turn it on and turn it off again when we're done. We [also] save money because we've consolidated our data centers [to four today from 194 in the early 1990s]. We use technology in place of people, which saves money. Also, most of the problems we had in operations were human-induced—either acts of commission or omission, like missetting a router or firewall, or a patch that wasn't applied. By reducing the number of people that touch our equipment we reduced our exposure for human-induced errors. So reliability and security go up as well. Garing also explains why work involving agency mainframes is growing at 10 percent a year. First of all, mainframe security is very good. Second, they are very fa ...
