IceWEB Selected for Federal Government Cloud Computing

IceWEB, Inc. has been selected to provide its Unified Data Storage platform for three major data centers to be deployed for the Federal Government’s new cloud-based services infrastructure.

The U.S. Government’s General Services Administration (GSA) is establishing a cloud-based Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for federal, state, local and tribal governments, www.apps.gov. IceWEB’s Unified Storage Systems will provide these government entities with on-demand cloud storage services.

"IceWEB Unified Storage Systems are ideal for GSA’s cloud-based service storefront," said Tim McNamee IceWEB Federal Channel Manager. "With literally no limits on the size or types of data, IceWEB Unified Storage Systems are designed to handle evolving and ever-changing complex government customer requirements. By supporting both block and file access with our built-in 128-bit ZFS file system, IceWEB storage systems have nearly unlimited scalability."

According to GSA Associate Administrator of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies Dave McClure, "Through offerings such as IaaS, GSA is providing governments with easy access to cost-saving, high-value, more efficient technology solutions by doing a major part of the procurement process up front."
