GCN: “The Treasury Department on Monday rolled out a new design of its website at Treasury.gov, which incorporates a cloud computing infrastructure and other emerging technologies. “The new Treasury.gov”>Treasury.gov website is a major step forward in our efforts to improve the way citizens access the wealth of the data and information Treasury produces on a day-to-day basis,” said Dan Tangherlini, Treasury’s assistant secretary for management, as well as the department’s CFO and Chief Performance Officer. “For the first time, the new Treasury.gov will use advanced technologies like cloud computing, an official blog, and data visualizations to better communicate and connect with citizens.” Treasury.gov is providing new data visualizations, including interest rate data and Recovery Act data. The step into the cloud is the first from a cabinet-level U.S. agency. Treasury is using Amazon’s EC2 cloud service to host the site and associated data applications.”
