The Defense Intelligence Services Agency has announced a cloud-service portfolio dubbed “milCloud” combining mature commercial-off-the-shelf and government-developed technology to deliver cloud services tailored to needs of the DoD.
milClouda component of the DoD Enterprise Cloud Environment, and is a foundational Joint Information Environment, Core Data Center offering, according to DISA. It said milCloud’s infrastructure is maintained within DoD core data centers that incorporate strict security protocols.
The milCloud portfolio allows consumers to place orders on-demand through web-based self-service tools, configure infrastructure resources where appropriate, and manage their mission application lifecycle running on those resources without manual intervention from DISA support staff, DISA said.
It said milCloud products and services have network connectivity to the DoD Information Networks and are configured in accordance with relevant DoD security guidelines and approved protocols.
milCloud resources are also pooled so that multiple mission partners consume units from pools provisioned by DISA, and the milCloud portfolio has the ability to expand or contract resource use within virtual resource pools, DISA said.
milCloud is currently available on NIPRNet and can be ordered via the Cloud Services Marketplace at https://cloudservices.disa.mil/.
