Savvis Federal Systems Inc., a division of cloud hosting company CenturyLink, Inc., has won a contract with the US Government's Federal Communications Commission (FCC) which might earn the company $1.1 million over three years.

CenturyLink is a leading telecommunications player in the United States and a global leader in cloud infrastructure and hosted IT solutions for business customers. The company's services include data, voice and managed services. The FCC's contract requires CenturyLink, Inc. to provide Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) options including managed, scalable public cloud hosting services for the FCC's public websites. The contract also includes moving the FCC's existing websites to a CenturyLink cloud data center.

CenturyLink's ability to provide cloud hosting services over a carrier-class network means the company can offer the FCC a high degree of security and the solid reliability it requires to maintain its activities as a telecommunications regulation agency.

"CenturyLink is eager to leverage its extensive cloud hosting product portfolio to support the FCC's many missions, including the commission's efforts to encourage new technologies to flourish," explained CenturyLink's Public Sector Senior Vice President and General Manager, Diana Gowen. "We look forward to adding our secure cloud hosting solutions to the WAN and MTIPS solutions we already provide to the FCC."

CenturyLink's new FCC contract comes on the heels of winning two task orders to provide private Wide Area Network (WAN) services and Managed Trusted Internet Protocol Services (MTIPS) to the FCC - a deal worth around to $10 million over the next five years.
