CenturyLink wins FCC Cloud Contract

CenturyLink was awarded a cloud hosting contract from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) valuded at up to $1.1 million over the next three years.

The delivery order was awarded to Savvis Federal Systems Inc., a CenturyLink company. The company will provide managed, scalable public cloud hosting services for www.fcc.gov, myfcc.gov and the commission's other public website domains. The contract is for infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and includes migration of the existing website infrastructure to a CenturyLink cloud data center.
