Hewlett Packard Enterprise wins billion-dollar defense contract
Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE) has won a contract worth $931 million from DISA, a US combat support agency within the Department of War, to modernize its data centers.
The ten-year contract with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is for a distributed, hybrid, multi-cloud solution to modernize its data centers.
According to HPE, the investment aims to provide digital and artificial intelligence services that will help deliver “mission-critical outcomes for warfighters at the speed required by real-time, global operations.”
HPE said it would use its private hybrid cloud, GreenLake, together with “on-premises and air-gapped management.”
HPE was the enterprise product division of Hewlett-Packard (HP) until it was spun out as a separate business.
