General Dynamics Information Technology has announced the availability of Amazon Web Services through the milCloud 2.0 contract, providing Defense Department mission partners access to an expanded portfolio of secure cloud services.
This gives DOD agencies another mechanism to quickly and easily move their workloads to AWS through a streamlined contracting process.
“We’re pleased to announce milCloud 2.0 capabilities are now expanded to also provide mission partners leading cloud services from AWS,” said Leigh Palmer, senior vice president of GDIT’s defense division. “This aligns precisely with the DoD Hybrid Cloud Strategy and actually simplifies acquisition and choice for the DoD and DISA mission partners.”
milCloud 2.0 enables DOD and the Defense Information Systems Agency to accelerate cloud adoption, simplify acquisition, achieve cost savings and improve mission effectiveness through a single contract.
“Through this collaboration between AWS and GDIT, DoD customers can access leading cloud services from AWS in areas such as compute, storage, database, networking, analytics, machine learning, migration, security, and more,” said Dave Levy, vice president of U.S. government, nonprofit and health care at AWS.
“We look forward to continuing to support the department’s modernization efforts and the mission critical needs of our nation’s warfighters,” Levy said.
