CSC (NYSE: CSC) announced today that the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) awarded its team – including Amazon Web
Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and other strategic business
partners – a contract to deliver cost-effective cloud services,
data center consolidation and cloud migration capabilities. This
single-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract is
valued at $108,992,884 with the potential to reach $1 billion over
10 years.
Under the contract, CSC’s team will consolidate FAA data centers
and migrate FAA data and systems to a hybrid cloud environment. The
team will use the CSC Agility Platform cloud management tool to
orchestrate efficient cloud deployment while leveraging alliance
partners for data and cloud services.
“CSC and our alliance partners are demonstrating the unique
value that we as a team can bring to deliver an innovative,
next-gen IT cloud solution that drives the FAA’s mission forward,”
said Mike Lawrie, CSC’s president and chief executive officer. “By
coming together as we have, we are in a unique position to help
meet the agency’s operational and budgetary challenges over the
life of the program.”
“Our work on FAA infrastructure and end-user service programs,
including support for its migration to a cloud enterprise messaging
system, gives us a hands-on understanding of the agency’s
requirements and procedures,” said Larry Prior, executive vice
president and general manager of CSC’s North American Public
Sector. “We’ll build on this experience to implement program
requirements, minimize cloud implementation risks, reduce overall
IT costs and drive an effective cloud solution tailored to the FAA
environment.”
“Government adoption of cloud computing for mission applications
is accelerating rapidly, and we are pleased to help FAA’s
transition to the cloud,” said Teresa Carlson, vice president of
Worldwide Public Sector, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “With AWS’s
security and compliance standards – like FedRAMP, ITAR and SRG –
CSC will be able to rapidly enable FAA to realize the benefits of
agility, cost savings, and flexibility.”
“Microsoft is excited to continue working under the leadership
of the FAA and CSC to deliver a secure, cost-effective and
intelligent cloud with our FedRAMP JAB-approved Microsoft Azure,”
said Greg Myers, vice president of Microsoft Federal. “This builds
nicely on our collective success in moving the FAA to the cloud on
the productivity side with Office 365. As the agency now moves to a
hybrid cloud environment and consolidates its data centers,
Microsoft’s Azure will work across applications, software,
operating systems, and data to ensure success in support of the
FAA’s mission of providing the safest, most efficient aerospace
system in the world.”
CSC’s cloud brokerage model is built on a world-leading partner
ecosystem that delivers the most competitively-priced hybrid cloud
services and capabilities with the flexibility to evolve to meet
changing requirements. The team’s solution combines CSC’s
on-premises services with FedRAMP certified cloud services from AWS
and Microsoft Azure – bringing together the best the industry has
to offer. Over the term of the contract, CSC’s team intends to
continuously drive value for the FAA by fostering price competition
using its innovative cloud brokerage services approach, ensuring
that the right cloud is delivered at the right time – and at the
right price.
