Mar 11, 2009 : Verizon Awarded DoD IT Hosting Contract
📅 - Under a new contract awarded by the US Defense Information Systems Agency, Verizon Business (verizonbusiness.com) will provide network and data services to the US Department of Defense at military installations and other government sites around the world.
According to Verison's Wednesday announcement, the 10 year Defense Information System Network Transmission Services contract lets Verizon Business provide telecommunications services to the DoD in the Asia-Pacific region, the Caribbean, the Americas, and the Middle East. If all options are exercised, the contract has a maximum value of $2.5 billion.
Verizon Business will provide network services ranging from individual circuits to fully managed transmission services, with bandwidth ranging from 64 Kbps to 10G wavelength over fiber-optics or satellite, or both. Also, Verizon Business will provide managed data services including Internet protocol, Ethernet and Internet services.
"As a long-time communications provider for defense agencies, we have seen the government's demands for advanced, network-centric communications evolve, and we look forward to helping military installations remain on the cutting edge of the latest technology," Verizon Business federal division regional vice president Marlin Forbes said in a statement. "As the leading provider of communications to the federal government, we have unmatched experience helping the US military meet its missions around the globe."
The Verizon Business-managed DTS-P II network is part of the Defense Information System Network and is monitored round-the-clock, 365 days a year. It supports many aspects of the US military's global operations.
Verizon Business previously had provided network services under a previous contract and has the special designation of being the largest communications services provider to the US federal government, and one of the largest providers of advanced communications and information technology services globally.
While less glamorous, earlier this week, Verizon Business was chosen by the NSG Group, an international glass and glazing products provider, to power its IT operations spanning 29 countries and sales in more than 130. After a major merger in 2006, the NSG Group has been seeking to centralise its network infrastructure with a single supplier, finally choosing Verizon's fully managed Private IP solution to provide secure, scalable and flexible connectivity for more than 430 NSG Group sites across Europe, India, Japan, and the Americas, helping the company streamline its global business operations, and achieve cost and management efficiencies.
