Cloud Management Information & Next Steps

SAIC has and continues participates in early access programs, betas and councils around VMware’s cloud management

platforms. Today, we have many deployments in various stages of maturity for several customers e.g. NASA, GSA, DoD, DoS,

and the Commonwealth of Virginia this October. SAIC has also deployed vRealize Automation internally in production and

looking forward to leveraging VMware Cloud Automation Services.

While many of SAIC’s current deployments are focused on designing, deploying, and integrating cloud management solutions

for customers, we are also currently evaluating VMware Cloud Automation Services for use within our overall Technical

Services Brokerage capability. This will provide for a flexible and agile environment without significant upfront and long-term

investments for customers.

Cloud Automation Services have opened the following aligned strategic initiatives for SAIC:

– Increase in opportunities for Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure/MAG

– Aligned SAIC to work with organizations with an effective software development background to assist with transition to CI/CD pipeline and

Infrastructure as Code

– Cloud Automation Services have enabled new use cases for our organizations internal research and development
