Five-year network services contract
strengthens connectivity and collaboration across the European
Space Agency
LONDON, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DXC Technology
(NYSE: DXC) has been awarded a multi-year contract to deliver
network and security services to provide the European Space Agency
(ESA)'s international workforce of scientists, engineers and IT
specialists with scalable and secure network services enabling them
to collaborate seamlessly from anywhere on their space
activities.
Through the agreement, DXC will contribute to ESA's work to
develop Europe's space capability,
helping enable missions that study the Universe, explore our Solar
System and orbit Earth, obtaining crucial data that allow us to
monitor and mitigate the effects of climate change.
DXC will help transform ESA's terrestrial network environment
with the latest software-defined network technology designed to
improve network scalability, performance, and security. As a
result, ESA's global workforce will collaborate more efficiently
with colleagues and international partners on some of the world's
leading science and exploration missions. In parallel, the
implementation of DXC's Platform X, a new data-driven
intelligent automation platform, will enable ESA to achieve a state
of silent operations for its network and security systems.
"We are proud to extend our successful, 14-year relationship
with ESA," said Chris Halbard, EMEA President, DXC Technology.
"This is the ultimate example of 'mission-critical' and how a
leading global organization relies on our experts and solutions for
research which is literally critical to the future of the
world."
Filippo Angelucci, ESA's Chief
Information Officer, said: "Ensuring reliable core IT services to
our user community has helped us operate without interruptions
during the Covid-19 crisis. However, the new normal has also
accelerated the pace of change within the Agency and the demand for
more advanced and secure infrastructure."
"We expect DXC to work with us to further accelerate our IT
transformation toward more flexible and secure platforms to support
our user communities in their relentless quest for innovative
solutions."
DXC's Global Network Services, including campus and geographical
area networks, remote access, network security solutions and
services and service management integration via DXC's Platform X,
will enable ESA to manage highly complex projects with confidential
data to support the next chapter of space exploration and create
new markets for space technologies.
