Modernizing Space Force Infrastructure With An On-Prem Platform-as-a-Service

The Challenge: The U.S. Space Force was relying on aging infrastructure to support mission-critical command and control systems. The hardware was nearing end-of-life, with a lack of standard support offerings going forward, and was becoming increasingly incompatible with emerging multi-cloud strategies. Without a tech refresh the mission faced increasing risk of hardware failure, but a traditional capital-intensive upgrade was not financially viable.

The Solution: ESCgov and our trusted partners helped design and deliver a modern, on-prem PaaS solution tailored to the program’s operational needs and budgetary constraints. Key aspects of the solution included:

  • A full-stack, pre-configured hardware/software environment supporting cloud-native modernization
  • Seamless replacement of outdated systems with next-gen processors
  • Delivery of new capabilities through operational funding with no CapEx required
  • Enterprise-class availability, scalability, and performance with reduced footprint

The Results: A purpose-built, future-ready platform built specifically to support unique mission requirements.

  • Space Force received fully modernized infrastructure at a cost lower than maintaining the legacy environment
  • The Prime Contractor accelerated modernization efforts through ESCgov’s eRAMP model
  • Our OEM partner leveraged eRAMP to grow an account that lacked capital budget
