In conjunction with its strategic partner Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), WWT will provide DISA with dynamically scalable, on-demand storage infrastructure based on HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage, which can adjust to new and unpredictable demands. This storage environment will enable flexible worker access and be capable of handling classified and unclassified data. It will technically refresh the existing DISA storage environment and serve the enterprise storage requirements for DISA’s U.S.-based facilities and other DISA-approved locations worldwide. Once deployed, the government will maintain daily operations of the enterprise storage environment and oversight responsibilities.
In addition to HPE, WWT’s strategic relationships with other leading OEMs played a critical role in securing the DISA ESS II award. WWT intends to provide industry leading solutions from Cleversafe (Object Storage), CTERA (file sharing and cloud gateways), Brocade (SAN), NetApp (NAS), EMC (disk backup) and Spectra Logic (tape backup) through the contract vehicle.
