King County is replacing a costly and complex tape-based backup and archive environment with a solution that combines highly automated, physical and virtual (Microsoft Hyper-V) NetApp AltaVault cloud integrated storage appliances with Glacier and S3 Amazon Web Services. The solution enables the county to facilitate secure, reliable, enterprise class-data protection and recovery across production and test/dev environments with significant speed and management improvements, as well as cost efficiencies, over tape. Also, because it lets the County retain its existing backup software, the IT team can continue to use familiar tools, which has made the transition to cloud-based backup even easier
Louisville Metro Data Initiatives
Louisville's data initiatives take the form of open data and data-driven performance. Mayor Greg Fisher has made it a priority for Louisville Metro Government to be open and transparent by default as well as utilize data to improve performance. These visions for Louisville have manifested into custom sites hosted on AWS infrastructure which provide citizens meaningful insights into government priorities and actions. Using these tools, citizens can review, analyze and comment on the ongoing process of government in a way that was previously unavailable.

CKAN Multisite is an open source project that makes it trivial for state, regional, and local governments to setup and run their own Open Data infrastructure. This includes the ability to spin up and manage multiple CKAN data catalogs with a click of a button. State and local governments wish to adopt open data policies and technology, but many open data software vendors remain too expensive for smaller governments with tight budgets.
CKAN Multisite gives cities an easy way to deploy CKAN on cloud infrastructure such as AWS. It also gives state and regional governments the power to provide infrastructure to their cities and counties. It even paves the way for smaller open data vendors to roll out their own CKAN clouds. We are hoping the project will greatly increase the rate of open data adoption among all levels of state and local government.
