GSA Releases Cloud Computing RFQ

According to that publication, the potential impact is low if the loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability could be expected to have a limited adverse effect on organizational operations, organizational assets, or individuals. A limited adverse effect means that, for example, the loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability might:

• cause a degradation in mission capability to an extent and duration that the organization is able to perform its primary functions, but the effectiveness of the functions is noticeably reduced;
• result in minor damage to organizational assets
• result in minor financial loss; or
• result in minor harm to individuals.

The objective of this RFQ is to offer three key service offerings through IaaS providers for ordering activities and have been divided into three distinct Lots:

• Lot 1: Cloud Storage Services (Section 4.3.1)
• Lot 2: Virtual Machines (Section 4.3.2)
• Lot 3: Cloud Web Hosting (Section 4.3.3)
