Enabling Multi-Cloud, Hybrid Cloud Strategies for Government
The U.S. government’s Cloud Smart strategy directs Federal agencies to drive federal cloud adoption to enhance mission and service delivery. As they attempt to modernize applications and migrate sensitive workloads to the cloud, agencies are required to adopt ”defense-in-depth” security strategies at the data layer in addition to the network and physical infrastructure layers to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Federal information. The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) contributes to the government’s ability to transition from legacy technologies to mission-centric, cost-effective cloud-based systems in a more rapid, consistent, and secure manner.
Unfortunately, few public networks or hyperscale clouds are optimized to meet the government’s unique technical and cybersecurity requirements. And as the government’s adoption of cloud technologies increases over time, many agencies are pursing multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies to address issues of cost predictability, vendor lock-in, network performance, and lack of control over their data.
FedRAMP-Compliant Infrastructure and Cloud Solutions
ORock complements your existing hyperscale cloud deployments while providing an alternative option for sensitive workloads that require superior security, performance, cost predictability, and control.
As an infrastructure service provider with its own open source cloud, ORock® Technologies delivers enterprise-grade solutions that enable secure data operations while controlling costs, minimizing vendor lock-in, and enabling migration of applications and workloads to the cloud.
ORock operates a private, high-performance fiber optic backbone network and built an enterprise-grade cloud from the ground up using open source technologies (hardened by Red Hat) and a flat-rate billing model. ORockCloud is the only hybrid cloud built on Red Hat OpenStack Platform and Red Hat OpenShift Platform to achieve FedRAMP Moderate authorization for IaaS and PaaS. Our government-only community cloud, ORock HighCloud, is FedRAMP Ready at the High Impact Level.
This infrastructure is authorized by FedRAMP and the U.S. Department of Defense for use by government agencies. ORock solutions also comply with critical commercial standards such as HIPAA, HITECH, and PCI DSS.
Solutions for Government Customers
Cloud Compute
ORockCloud enables you to securely host applications and workloads in a vendor-agnostic, enterprise-grade open source environment while transitioning your IT costs from CapEx to OpEx. ORock manages the infrastructure layer so your IT team can focus on innovation, providing myriad options for compute, storage, networking, and Internet connectivity. ORock offers flexible, on-demand cloud resources (available in hourly increments) or lower-cost reserved hosting options.

Bare Metal as a Service
Combining ORock’s deep expertise in providing IaaS and PaaS cloud capabilities to enterprise customers, ORock offers infrastructure and managed service solutions that enable government organizations to cut costs, increase flexibility, and strengthen data security beyond the traditional on-premises data center. Managed infrastructure offerings include dedicated hardware racks, compute/processing capabilities, SSD and HDD storage, and private cloud deployments within secure, state-of-the-art data center facilities. ORock provides an array of managed services to support your infrastructure, including:
- Cloud solution architecture
- Hardware, software, and network provisioning
- Data center deployment
- Top of rack configuration and management
- Cloud installation, configuration, management, and monitoring
- Customer application assessment, migration, management, and monitoring
- NOC and SOC services
Containers
Containers represent the future of software development and application modernization. They solve the problem of getting software to run reliably and efficiently from one computing environment to another by bundling together an application’s entire Runtime environment into one package that is easily moved and managed (while consuming fewer system resources to save costs).
ORock Federal Application Authorization Services
ORock’s FAAS program is a turnkey, compliant, collaborative approach to FedRAMP authorization for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs). It enables your vendors to achieve FedRAMP SaaS authorization for their commercial-off-the-shelf applications, enabling you to comply with FedRAMP mandates and secure your data while consuming software applications as a service.
