Commanding the Air Force’s Adoption of Cloud Computing
Secure Cloud Solutions

We architected and built a multi-cloud, PaaS based, hosting environment using both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure GovCloud, known as Cloud One.

The Challenge
Establish a scalable cloud environment capable of supporting thousands of mission-critical applications.

The Results
Both technology and process transformation was at the forefront for Cloud One, as a move to the cloud requires not only a shift in technology and operations, but also a shift in organizational mindset and culture. Approaching the cloud with the old ways of working would have ultimately led to systems plagued by high costs, the familiar limitations of traditional on-premise IT solutions, and overwhelming complexity.
Isobar embraced a proven Strategic Planning Process, grounded in an agile approach to innovate, prototype and deliver critical technology capabilities for USAF. This new way of working was characterized by collaboration, transparency, and direct government involvement every step of the way.
