The Environmental Protection Agency wants to move most of its IT enterprise to a cloud environment. The EPA’s national computing center is in the process of building a secure hybrid cloud, and it’s just awarded a three-year, $15 million contract to build hosting and virtualization services. The award was made under the General Services Administration’s Infrastructure as a Service blanket purchase agreement. EPA wants to move 80 percent of its computing environment to the cloud by 2015.
