The US Department of Defense moves to JEDI Cloud to enable artificial intelligence capabilities and machine learning.<\/p>\n
Currently, its DoD IT infrastructure is a federated legacy environment based on earlier technology.<\/p>\n
Now, the federal government of the US hopes its two-year cloud contract with JEDI Cloud will improve affordability, security, data accessibility and performance for business operations.<\/p>\n
With JEDI Cloud, DoD is pursuing infrastructure and platform as a service, which is needed to enable the above, advanced capabilities.<\/p>\n
Dana White, Chief Pentagon Spokesperson, told reporters today:\u00a0\u201cTransitioning from legacy systems to the cloud will improve security, data accessibility, affordability and performance for both the warfighter and business operations across the department.<\/p>\n
\u201cAcquiring software is not like acquiring ships or planes, but we must adhere to the same acquisition language and laws.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis contract is an example of how we are modernising the department and reforming the way we do business.\u201d<\/p>\n
The ‘Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure<\/em>\u00a0Programme’ <\/em>is also not going to encompass other Pentagon cloud projects, according to Defense Systems.<\/em><\/p>\n Written by Leah Alger<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The US Department of Defense moves to JEDI Cloud to enable artificial intelligence capabilities and machine learning<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":12712,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[70,1522,2786,2785,2784,2787,2706,1742,118],"yoast_head":"\n
