Cloud giants Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are part of a ‘team’ put together by
Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) that has won a $108 million contract with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States. The contract could eventually bring in the company $1 billion in revenue over the next 10 years.
CSC, which has headquarters in Falls Church, Virginia, United States, is a provider of “next generation” IT offerings and cloud brokerage services. With around 70,000 employees and more than $11 billion revenue last year, CSC meets its customers’ IT requirements by sourcing “best-in-class industry solutions, domain expertise and global scale”. CSC also provides cloud brokerage services that leverage an extensive “partner ecosystem” to provide cost-effective hybrid cloud options.
The contract will see CSC and its partners use the CSC Agility Platform cloud management tool to deliver “cloud services, data center consolidation and cloud migration capabilities” to the FAA. CSC’s team will consolidate FAA data centers and manage its data and systems migration to a purpose-built hybrid cloud infrastructure (that includes AWS and Microsoft Azure’s FedRAMP 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,” explained the Chief Executive Officer and President of CSC, Mike Lawrie. “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.”
