Successful development of the prototype on HPE GreenLake will
lay the foundation for DISA to rapidly deliver secure hybrid,
multi-cloud services to support the warfighter readiness
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced that the
Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), a combat support agency
of the United States Department of Defense (DoD), has awarded HPE
with a prototype Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement to
develop its Distributed Hybrid Multi-Cloud (DHMC) prototype as part
of a phased-acquisition approach. HPE will develop the prototype on
HPE GreenLake, and upon successful completion, it will enable DISA
to simplify management of its disparate IT infrastructure and
resources across public and private clouds through a unified
hybrid, multi-cloud platform.
“We’re honored that DISA has selected HPE to develop this
innovative prototype and with a successful completion, HPE
GreenLake will have the opportunity to be the secure hybrid,
multi-cloud platform where DISA can deliver innovative managed
services to the agencies it supports,” said Fidelma Russo,
executive vice president and general manager of hybrid cloud and
chief technology officer, HPE. “With this visionary project, and
the eventual potential to deliver a sovereign cloud for DISA, HPE
continues to expand upon its hybrid cloud leadership and solutions
with HPE GreenLake.”
The revitalization under the prototype OTA, if successful, will
bring together isolated and independent infrastructure environments
within DISA’s J9 Hosting and Compute into a modernized DHMC
infrastructure and services offering. The eventual revitalization
is expected to reduce DISA’s IT footprint, costs and management
complexity. Until now, DISA’s J9 HaC has managed multiple hosting
environments independent of, and isolated from one another with
different management planes, processes and portals for DISA systems
administrators.
HPE will develop a prototype that meets DISA’s key requirements
of managing on-premises and commercial cloud services through a
single hybrid cloud control plane capable of supporting
multi-tenancy, virtual private clouds, and comprehensive data
privacy and protection through a zero-trust architecture. With
support from trusted partner Iron Bow Technologies, HPE will assist
DISA in testing and validating the advanced capabilities from HPE
GreenLake private cloud solutions through prototype deployments in
DISA data centers in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania and Ogden,
Utah.
The successful implementation of the prototype and a secure
private cloud on HPE GreenLake will enable DISA to scale and
accelerate communications and application deployment, including the
ability to effectively apply more artificial intelligence (AI) and
data analytics. This will help ensure mission-critical outcomes for
warfighters at the speed required by real-time, global
operations.
With a successful prototype, HPE GreenLake will bring the
agility, scalability, and automation of the public cloud experience
together with the performance and security provided by an
on-premises private cloud. The HPE GreenLake platform will also
provide full visibility to multiple commercial cloud service
providers, with unified management through a single pane of glass
that allows users to provision, manage, and monitor a variety of
cloud services across private and public clouds.
DISA, headquartered in Fort Meade, Maryland, provides, operates,
and assures command and control and information-sharing
capabilities across a global enterprise information infrastructure.
It provides direct support for joint warfighters, and the full
spectrum of military operations for missions and coalition
partners.
