Leigh Palmer, a vice president of Google’s public sector organization, said the company considers the award another step forward to its partnership with DOD.

“I think Google is the innovation choice…We have one of the largest networks in the world that connects our customers with secure and scalable infrastructure. It’s a private network that can deliver high-performance services with a low latency and defense in-depth security,” she elaborated.

Glen Dodson, an Oracle senior vice president, highlighted the differentiators that the company is bringing to the project.

“We’re second-generation cloud architecture. We bring a lot more stringent security, greater performance, at a low predictable price,” he explained. “We’re excited about bringing these capabilities and innovations across the entire security fabric, whether it’s IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, secret or top secret SCI or beyond.”
