ViON Corporation has been awarded a $50 million Navy contract for data services for the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command.
Under the seven-year contract, ViON will provide Capacity as a Service, or CaaS, and will service the data center infrastructure needs for research, development, testing and evaluation core infrastructures, laboratory, and data-center environments, according to a company news release.
“The contract is for on-premises CaaS, which aligns the Department of Defense (DoD) to meet the provisions of the government’s Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI),” ViON said. “The acquisition model is groundbreaking for the U.S. Navy. It allows the department to scale capacity, in the form of networking, compute and storage, resulting in lower total cost of ownership, reduced risk and quicker access to technology.”
