Defense
Information Systems Agency News Release
WASHINGTON,
Oct. 31, 2013 – The Defense Information Systems Agency recently closed data
center operations in Dayton, Ohio, and Chambersburg, Pa., and transferred the
functions of these centers to other Defense Enterprise Computing Centers.
The
reallocation of operations from Dayton and Chambersburg enables the agency to
consolidate and converge existing information technology infrastructures to
gain financial and operational efficiencies across the enterprise. It also
supports the adoption of the Joint Information Environment, a major Department
of Defense initiative designed to provide a consolidated, collaborative, and
secure JIE that enables end-to-end information sharing and interdependent
enterprise services across the department.
JIE
will enable secure, seamless access to information regardless of computing
device or location.
DISA
and the military departments are aggressively consolidating their data centers
and information technology infrastructure.
This
consolidation will establish a core computing infrastructure that provides
assured and ubiquitous access to vital enterprise services and aggregates
computing services and infrastructure requirements to gain economic
efficiencies of scale.
About
30 civilian employees were affected by these closures. All were reassigned to
other positions within DOD or elected to retire from federal service.
Through
a diverse portfolio of information technology capabilities, DISA's DECCs
provide a common platform that enhances operational effectiveness and
facilitates increased collaboration for the DOD.
DISA
remains focused on providing standardized, robustly interconnected data centers
that are available to support the combatant commands, military services, and
agency requirements as needed. DISA is also committed to providing
cutting-edge, secure, and globally accessible technologies in support of
mission partners, regardless of agency or military service affiliation.
