IBM clouds intelligence
The U.S. Air Force has awarded IBM a contract to design and demonstrate a secure cloud computing infrastructure capable of supporting defense and intelligence networks
The ten-month project will introduce advanced cyber security and analytics technologies developed by IBM Research into the cloud architecture.
The project will push the technology boundaries of cloud computing with an infrastructure design that not only supports large-scale networks, but meets rigorous security standards and the government's Information Assurance guidelines for all networks. The air force's network manages the operations of nine major commands, nearly 100 bases, and 700,000 active military personnel around the world.
