Official DPRTE sponsor, UKCloudX, has announced its new Defence Cloud offering to support the UK MOD strategic vision of information superiority through digital technology.
The recently published Digital Strategy for Defence outlines the vision for the digital needs of UK Defence by 2030, including the delivery of a secure Digital Backbone.
The strategy states, “Defence’s Digital Backbone will be an ecosystem – a combination of people, process, data and technology; it will enable friction-free access to our data, connecting sensors in one domain to platforms in other domains, via decision-makers at the relevant levels in real time”.
To achieve the clear ambition set out in the Digital Strategy, the Defence sector will need to address the skills, budget and compliance challenges discovered in UKCloud’s recent State of Digital and Data survey.
UKCloudX announced Defence Cloud, a broad suite of outcome-centric offerings that address the people, process and data aspects of the Digital Strategy – built on a sovereign High Assurance Cloud Platform, that is an essential digital backbone component keeping our nation safe.
Defence Cloud enables powerful collaboration between agencies, specialist providers and digital innovators to help the UK maintain and enhance its information superiority as a digital exemplar.
As a Strategic Cloud Provider to the UK government, UKCloudX also delivers demonstrable social value evidenced by its recent attainment of the Social Value Quality Mark and commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant.
Gerry Cantwell, Director of UKCloudX said: “UKCloudX is devoted to transforming the mission to keep our nation safe. Threats and adversaries to our nation are always evolving and so our national security is dependent on our ability to triumph in the information age. This has never been truer than with UK Defence’s ambitions around Multi Domain Integration, for which the exploitation of digital technologies (such as cloud) will be the cornerstone to its success.
“UKCloudX’s Defence Cloud initiative provides the sector with a deployment ready service so the sectors digital ambitions can be realised ahead of target.”
