Podcasts about joint enterprise defense infrastructure

It was a front-page story in The Washington Post back in October 2019. Amazon was in line to receive a billion contract from the Department of Defense for cloud computing — the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, contract — when, at the last minute, the contract was awarded to Microsoft. Then-President Donald Trump has been outspoken about not wanting the contract to go to Amazon. He had been relentless, during his administration, in his attacks on the “Amazon Washington Post” and its owner Jeff Bezos for what he saw as its unfavorable and unfair coverage of his administration....Article Link

In 2017, the Defense Department started kicking around a disruptive idea: What if the department buys—not builds—an enterprise cloud? The department initiated a multibillion-dollar procurement for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure cloud, which hit legal snag after legal snag until DOD cancelled the project in July. Though JEDI was never realized, experts say the contract's true legacy may lie in what it symbolized rather than what it actually produced.

The Pentagon says it scrapped a massive $10 billion cloud computing contract, sidestepping a bitter dispute between Amazon and Microsoft over allegations of political bias that swayed the bidding.A Defense Department statement says the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure contract was cancelled because it no longer meets current needs and that it would start a process for a new multi-cloud computing contract.Officials say that instead of going forward with the deal in the face of litigation, the government would start over with the aim of getting the most up-to-date technology.Defense Department spokesman John Sherman, says JEDI, conceived with noble intent, was developed at a time when the department's needs were different.

If you land a contract with the Department of Defense, that’s usually big money. Unless, of course, the government changes its mind. That's what happened to Microsoft this week when the Pentagon canceled the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, cloud computing contract. The government controversially awarded that $10 billion contract to Microsoft in late 2019; Amazon immediately sued, saying former President Donald Trump exerted undue influence over the decision, which led to a long legal battle. Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams speaks with “Marketplace Tech” host Molly Wood about why the old contract no longer met the Pentagon’s needs.

The corporate war to provide cloud computing for US warfighters is over. Late Friday, the Department of Defense announced that Microsoft has won the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure contract, known as JEDI. The decision was the culmination of a two-year process that also included Google, IBM, and Oracle, and where Amazon was long seen as the favorite.

The two-year procurement saga known as the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, has been awarded, but it's far from over. The Defense Department picked Microsoft for its infrastructure cloud computing environment in a surprise decision late last week. But the 10-year contract that could be worth as much as $10 billion remains veiled in drama.Federal News Network's Jason Miller and Jared Serbu have been following JEDI since the beginning and they both joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin for the latest.

The Defense Department tried to set the record straight about its controversial cloud computing initiative called the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI. But DoD Chief Information Officer Dana Deasy may have hit upon what could be another sticking point for the JEDI program. In his weekly feature, the Reporter's Notebook, Federal News Network Executive Editor Jason Miller writes about why the JEDI procurement in remains murky as Defense Secretary Mark Esper begins his programmatic review. Hear more on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

On this episode man examines the DOD war cloud known as the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI), Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Oracle and IBM bidding on the 10 billion dollar contract and its implications on Lethal Autonomous Weapons (LAW), Defense Department's Third Offset Strategy, which seeks to outmaneuver advantages made by top adversaries primarily through technologies such as A.I. Robotics and Machine Learning.

The Defense Department has once again delayed awarding its giant cloud computing contract. But the Pentagon is at least starting to get its ducks in a row for the actual award of the contract known as JEDI, short for Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure. Federal News Network's Scott Maucione has the latest from DoD Chief Information Officer Dana Deasy. Hear more on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

Resources Public Knowledge The Case for the Digital Platform Act by Harold Feld   News Roundup   Supreme Court takes a bite out of Apple in app store case   In a 5-4 the decision, the Supreme Court dealt a blow to Apple in a class action lawsuit claiming that company’s app store is a monopoly. The case will now proceed in the district court. The issue was whether regular consumers have standing to sue Apple for antitrust violations, or whether it was just competitors who have standing to sue. Justice Kavanaugh sided with the court’s liberal justices, saying that if consumers didn’t have standing, that retailers would be able to evade antitrust enforcement, by structuring deals with suppliers and manufactures in a way that complies with the black letter of the law, but still effectively have a monopoly.   Uber driver allegedly locks two women in his car   Police in Pittsburgh arrested an Uber driver, Richard Lomotey, who is also an assistant professor at Penn State’s Beaver campus, for allegedly locking two female passengers in his car and telling them, “you’re not going anywhere”.

According to the Intercept, Palantir, which was founded by Trump adviser Peter Thiel, has been working with ICE to help them target and deport unaccompanied children and their families. Palantir says that it only helps ICE with investigations. But the Intercept found written documents, obtained via a FOIA request, that show Palantir pursued an “Unaccompanied Alien Children Human Smuggling Disruption Initiative” with both of ICE’s two major divisions: Homeland Security and Investigations and its other division, which is called Enforcement and Removal Operations.   Symantec: Chinese spies captured NSA’s hacking tools and used them against the U.S.   The New York Times reports that Symantec has discovered that Chinese spies hacked into the National Security Agency and stole its hacking tools. Then it took those tools and used them against the United States. Experts are now questioning what role the U.S. should now play in defining cybersecurity practices around the world. The New York Times describes what China did as being similar to a “ gunslinger who takes an enemy’s rifle and starts blasting away”, making cybersecurity, in a lot of ways, like the Wild West.   Justice Department charges Chinese Nationals in Anthem breach   The Justice Department has charged two Chinese nationals for hacking Anthem back in 2015 that affected some 78.8 million Americans.

The Defense Department has survived the first protest of its JEDI Cloud contract. But there’s at least one more – and mostly likely several more – still to come. Lauren Brier, an associate attorney with The Federal Practice Group joins us to talk about the legal issues involved in the protest Oracle filed, and why losing bidders might have more luck challenging the procurement after an award is made. Later, Jim Langevin (D-R.I.), the presumptive incoming chairman of the House Armed Services subcommittee on emerging threats and capabilities joins us to discuss his oversight and legislative priorities for the new Congress.

In today's Federal Newscast, the Pentagon says its moving the deadline of its Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure at the request of offerrers.

The Defense Department yesterday released a long-awaited request for proposals for its Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure cloud computing contract. The deal could be worth $10 billion over 10 years and against the wishes of many in government and industry. DoD is going for a single-vendor approach and Federal News Radio's Jared Serbu had the details on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

The Pentagon's upcoming contract for its Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure – or JEDI – is getting a lot of attention. It could be the biggest IT procurement in DoD's history. But the Pentagon says JEDI won't be the only game in town when it comes to cloud. In a new memo, DoD ordered Defense agencies to start moving their applications out of more than 100 legacy data centers, and into the Defense Information Systems Agency's new milCloud 2.0. Caroline Bean, DISA's program manager for milCloud, tells Federal News Radio's Jared Serbu on Federal Drive with Tom Temin about where the program stands.

The Defense Department today gave nearly every technology vendor some heavy reading for this week. It posted the highly anticipated version 2 of the draft solicitation for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure or JEDI cloud contract. The JEDI initiative continues to create heartburn for many in the federal community with its uncertainty. In his weekly feature the Reporter's Notebook, executive editor Jason Miller wrote about how three events over two days captured the anxiety JEDI is causing. He joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to discuss.

Alfred Rivera, who retired after serving more than 20 years at the Defense Information Systems Agency, said DoD can’t underestimate the costs and time it takes to migrate to a single cloud foundation.
