Australia’s defense department has selected Lockheed Martin as the preferred tenderer for a project to consolidate the agency’s 280 data centers worldwide into 11 locations.
Lockheed and Australian defense officials aim to finalize the Centralized Processing Project contract in the third quarter of 2014, the defense department said Thursday.
The department intends to integrate military information and communication technology infrastructures and applications across unclassified, restricted and secret domains through the program.
Australia expects to save as much as $1.9 billion through the ICT consolidation effort.
