Unisys will focus on ensuring defence department clients have access to mission-critical IT services and promoting the security and standardisation of the JSP IT infrastructure.

JSP was formed in 2015 to consolidate IT services provided to customers in the Pentagon.

The programme seeks to provide a unified approach to managing server, storage and application resources.

It works by moving applications to JSP IT environments that use platform, infrastructure and desktop-as-a-service models.

The approach involves consolidating resources such as servers, storage and services to reduce cost.
