CenturyLink recently announced the release of the CenturyLink Government Cloud, an IaaS platform for federal government agencies. The CenturyLink Government Cloud is enabled by means of CenturyLink’s use of VMware vCloud Government Services, a FedRAMP-accredited IaaS product available to CenturyLink as a result of its participation in the VMware vCloud Air network Managed Services Provider Model. CenturyLink’s new product offering will be available to federal government agencies through the company’s General Services Administration contract. CenturyLink Government Cloud represents a key addition to its hybrid cloud portfolio as it attempts to expand its footprint in the lucrative government cloud space.
