"The US Department of Defense on Tuesday awarded Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) a 10-year, $931 million contract to bring cloud conveniences, like unified management and multi-tenancy, to the US military's most sensitive datacenters. The Distributed Hybrid Multi-Cloud contract, awarded by the DoD's Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), will see the deployment of HPE's Green Lake Private Cloud offering across its IT footprint."
"The DoD is particularly interested in the platform's support for a centralized management plane, which will allow the department to manage the data and resources across its datacenter fleet from a single air-gapped interface, and multi-tenancy, which will enable resource isolation and compartmentalization of sensitive information and workloads to specific divisions."
"The deal announcement doesn't get into specifics as to what workloads the DoD will be running in its private cloud, but it wouldn't be 2025 if AI didn't get some kind of mention. However, we have to imagine they will mostly consist of jobs and datasets deemed too sensitive to deploy on the public cloud resources made available to the Pentagon under the Joint Warfighter Cloud Capability (JWCC) program."
The Department of Defense awarded Hewlett Packard Enterprise a 10-year, $931 million Distributed Hybrid Multi-Cloud contract through DISA to deploy Green Lake Private Cloud across its datacenters. The platform mimics public-cloud look and feel while keeping data and workloads on-prem, offering unified management and multi-tenancy. A centralized, air-gapped management plane will enable control of data and resources across the datacenter fleet from a single interface. Multi-tenancy will allow resource isolation and compartmentalization of sensitive information and workloads by division. The offering includes both hardware and software typically billed on a consumption basis. Prototype deployments occurred in early 2024 at Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and Ogden, Utah.
