Pentagon Orders Fourth Estate Agencies to Move to MilCloud 2.0

A May 3 memo signed by Defense Department acting Chief Information Officer Essye Miller directs “fourth estate” agencies to migrate data and applications to milCloud 2.0, an on-premise cloud that recently came online.

“Fourth estate data centers will migrate to milCloud 2.0 with the outcome of reducing the department’s data center footprint and streamlining cybersecurity infrastructure,” the memo obtained by Nextgov states. “Affected agencies should accelerate application rationalization activities to avoid unnecessary migrations.”
