DInfoCom/0131 - PROVISION OF VARIOUS LICENCES FOR ARMY DIGITAL SERVICES (ADS)

Army Digital Services (ADS) within D Info utilises multiple software licences that ensure availability of the Army Hosting Environment (AHE) and Defence Gateway (DGW) applications and services.

ADS currently provide hosting and through life application-based Information Services to the Army and wider Defence. It delivers hosting capability across 3 domains and currently supplies application services that support a wide range of functions. These contribute directly and indirectly to D Info's missions and tasks as given in the Army Command Plan 18. They also support Army HQ, Field Army, Home Command as well as support to TAFMIS and DLMC activities.

The renewal of these licences is critical to ADS for the delivery of Development, Test and live support both at the Application and Platform level and support the ongoing maintenance and security patching on the Army's cloud hosting infrastructures of both the Joint Server Farm (JSF) and the AHE on Official, Official Sensitive and Secret environments.
