Product launches and acquisitions were the 2 major strategies adopted by these players to achieve a strong foothold in the government cloud market.
Amazon Web Services is one of the prominent players in the government cloud market. Amazon Web Services’ government cloud offerings include products, such as AWS GovCloud (US) and G-Cloud UK. AWS GovCloud (US) is designed to meet the stringent US government security and compliance requirements, and host sensitive data and regulated workloads. The product provides government customers and their partners the flexibility to architect secure cloud solutions that comply with regulations, such as Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High Baseline, DOJ’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy, US International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and Department of Defense (DoD). The company is strongly focused on expanding its global footprint and therefore opened data centers in the UK and Canada. The company is expected to launch Amazon Web Services data centers in Sweden, Middle East, France, and China soon. In July 2017, Amazon Web Services announced G3 instances, the next generation of Graphics Processing Unit(GPU) powered Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, designed with the powerful combination of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and Random-Access Memory (RAM) for workloads, such as 3D rendering, 3D visualizations, graphics-intensive remote workstations, video encoding, and virtual reality applications for AWS GovCloud (US).
