Modernize federal government infrastructure with Cyxtera

Cyxtera Technologies offers government-compliant colocation and single-tenant bare metal as-a service to help modernize federal government infrastructure

Pain points we address:

  • Aging systems / infrastructure – government agencies and FSIs face tough decisions regarding end-of-life gear and whether they should spend the capital to refresh, or look at alternative solutions.
  • Cost / budget overruns – many agencies and FSIs who have deployed into public cloud are experiencing rising costs and the inability to accurately forecast IT spend.
  • Compliance and security – for government, having the talent and staff in-house capable of maintaining their compliance and security posture is extremely difficult from a resource and cost perspective.
  • Project timelines – lagging deployment times for government projects can lead to missing critical budget deadlines as well as lost RFPs/bids.
  • Meeting technology requirements – modernizing infrastructure can be a difficult task for government agencies dealing with legacy hardware and often lagging in adopting the newest technologies.

How we address:

  • Modernize infrastructure – our blend of traditional colocation combined with bare metal solutions ensure we offer the best strategy for updating infrastructure in the most cost-efficient model
  • Avoiding budget overruns – we review IT environments at the application level and help determine the best placement for a workload to more accurately predict IT spend while avoiding unnecessary public cloud fees.
  • Secure & government compliant – our federal platform supports high-security environments that meet FISMA requirements.
  • Meets cloud-smart mandates – lagging deployment times for government projects can lead to missing critical budget deadlines as well as lost RFPs/bids.
  • Project acceleration – our on-demand infrastructure allows for rapid deployment of dedicated cloud-agile private infrastructure, cabinets, and storage in minutes with the security, control, and cost-effectiveness of colocation.
  • AI/HPC-ready – our federal platform supports next gen projects and enables AI/ML- powered and high-performance compute workloads to be deployed with great agility and speed.
  • Technology neutral / optionality – we work with the top OEM partners to offer the most flexibility and optionality for agencies and FSIs looking to modernize their IT infrastructure.
