“DISA aims to attain a dynamically scalable processing capability by using an on-demand approach to easily adjust to changes in processing and throughput requirements.”

The agreement will enable DISA to use IBM Power Systems scale-out servers in an ‘on-demand’ approach to provide enterprise-class security, availability and reliability for mission-critical workloads at the Department of Defense (DoD).

ViON chief executive officer and chairman Tom Frana said: “ViON has been a technology and services partner for DISA since 2007 and we are pleased to expand our relationship and provide on-demand processing power for DISA.

“This award validates our as-a-service or on-demand capabilities, as well as our experience and expertise in delivering technology solutions to the federal government.”
