Description

The Department of the Navy (DON) currently manages a diverse and often disparate portfolio of mission applications and battle management aids. Many of them are legacy systems that are costly to maintain. The DON is seeking an innovative, remote-first, container-native platform to serve as its standardized, enterprise-wide hosting solution for modern containerized applications. This Area of Interest (AOI) under RCO CSO N6523626S0001 seeks a comprehensive solution that will accelerate software delivery to the fleet, dramatically improve cyber resiliency through zero-trust architecture, and reduce total cost of ownership by maximizing resource utilization and automation. The solution must be capable of operating across the full spectrum of Navy environments, from enterprise cloud data centers to Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent and Limited (DDIL) bandwidth, tactical-edge, environments.
