NASA has partnered with cloud services provider InfoZen to migrate several of the space agency’s public-facing websites and applications to a cloud computing environment.

InfoZen moved 110 online NASA portals into an Amazon Web Services-powered, open-source content management platform within 22 weeks under the NASA WESTPrime web migration contract, InfoZen said Wednesday.

“WESTPrime provides a cloud-based environment for NASA to efficiently and securely deliver content and applications to employees, contractors, researchers, and partners across the U.S. and around the world,” said Roopangi Kadakia, NASA web services executive.

The cloud model aims to help the agency reduce monthly operations and maintenance costs by 25 percent as well as simply app modernization, according to InfoZen.

NASA also intends for the technology to help its geographically dispersed organizations collaborate with one another and with industry partners.

InfoZen used its LaunchRAMP enterprise cloud brokerage platform for NASA’s cloud transition and worked with the agency’s chief information officer to form risk-based cloud security measures.

The company says the agency currently operates more than 1,500 public web portals and approximately 2,000 apps, intranets and extranets.
