(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — HP Enterprise Services (http://h10134.www1.hp.com/) announced on Thursday it has signed a $3 billion continuity of services contract with the US Department of the Navy.
The CoSC will allow the Navy to transition the comprehensive IT services presently provided under the Navy Marine Corps Intranet contract to the next generation enterprise network contract in a way that minimizes the possible risks to the Navy’s IT operations and security.
“The Department of the Navy needs to provide uninterrupted service to users while the Navy and Marine Corps execute a transition of one of the world’s largest and most secure defense network environments,” says Dennis Stolkey, senior vice president of US public sector at HP Enterprise Services. “With the NMCI contract ending on September 30, 2010, the Navy and HP have signed the CoSC to continue many of the IT services while enabling the Navy and Marine Corps to transition services to NGEN.”
This latest agreement continues the ongoing relationship between HP and the Navy.
HP will provide continued IT support for more than 700,000 sailors, Marines and civilians in the continental United States, Hawaii and Japan.
In 2000, the Navy began working towards the end goal of securing net-centric operations by establishing NMCI, which is now the world’s largest intranet, the most secure IT platform in the US Department of Defense, and the US government’s largest IT managed services contract.
HP Enterprise Services leads a team of more than 200 companies that operate all aspects of NMCI and maintains the performance and security of the highly-integrated IT environment.
