“Is it me or is this RFP a commercial for cloud computing?”
It’s you. Sounds like the Navy wants new equipment right down to the laces, and someone to manage availability, complexity, and drudgery – the headaches.
They will be required by DISA/DoD to keep their computing/storage on a DoD site (such as a DECC). They will be required to keep the data and custom applications on DoD soil, and isn’t offsiting that stuff what cloud is (the vendor provides everything but the end station)?
I don’t think DoD can buy cloud. They can DO cloud, but they can’t buy it.
I’d like to know if I was right…
